NAME

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate - Sets the attributes of the RepeatKeys control for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetAutoRepeatRate (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int timeout, unsigned int
              interval);

ARGUMENTS

       display
              connection to X server

       device_spec
              device to configure, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       timeout
              initial delay, ms

       interval
              delay between repeats, ms

DESCRIPTION

       The  core  protocol allows only control over whether or not the entire keyboard or individual keys should
       auto-repeat when held down. RepeatKeys is a boolean  control  that  extends  this  capability  by  adding
       control  over  the  delay  until  a  key begins to repeat and the rate at which it repeats. RepeatKeys is
       coupled with the core auto-repeat control: when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the  core  auto-repeat
       is enabled or disabled and vice versa.

       Auto-repeating  keys are controlled by two attributes. The first, timeout, is the delay after the initial
       press of an auto-repeating key and the first generated repeat event. The second, interval, is  the  delay
       between  all subsequent generated repeat events. As with all boolean controls, configuring the attributes
       that determine how the control operates does not automatically enable the control as a whole.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate sends a request to the X server to configure the AutoRepeat  control  attributes  to
       the values specified in timeout and interval.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  does  not  wait  for a reply; it normally returns True. Specifying a zero value for
       either timeout or interval causes the server to generate a  BadValue  protocol  error.  If  a  compatible
       version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbSetAutoRepeatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate function returns True normally.

       False          The  XkbSetAutoRepeatRate  function  returns  False  if  a  compatible  version of the Xkb
                      extension is not available in the server.

DIAGNOSTICS
