SYNOPSIS

       Bool  XkbGetSlowKeysDelay  (Display  *display,  unsigned  int  device_spec,  unsigned  int
              *delay_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
              connection to X server

       - device_spec

       - delay_rtrn
              backfilled with SlowKeys delay, ms

DESCRIPTION

       Some users may accidentally bump keys while moving a hand or typing stick toward  the  key
       they  want.  Usually,  the keys that are accidentally bumped are just hit for a very short
       period of time. The SlowKeys control helps filter these accidental bumps  by  telling  the
       server to wait a specified period, called the SlowKeys acceptance delay, before delivering
       key events. If the key  is  released  before  this  period  elapses,  no  key  events  are
       generated.  Users  can  then  bump  any  number  of keys on their way to the one they want
       without accidentally getting those characters. Once they have reached the key  they  want,
       they  can then hold the desired key long enough for the computer to accept it. SlowKeys is
       a boolean control with one configurable attribute.

       When the SlowKeys control is active, the server reports the initial key press,  subsequent
       acceptance  or  rejection,  and  release  of  any  key to interested clients by sending an
       appropriate AccessXNotify event (see section 10.6.4).

       The server can generate XkbAccessXNotify events for some of the global keyboard  controls.
       The  detail  field describes what AccessX event just occurred and can be any of the values
       in Table 1.  The server can generate  XkbAccessXNotify  events  for  some  of  the  global
       keyboard controls.  The detail field describes what AccessX event just occurred and can be
       any of the values in Table 1.

       detail              Reason
       ─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       XkbAXN_SKPress      A key  was  pressed  when  SlowKeys  was
                           enabled.
       XkbAXN_SKAccept     A key was accepted (held longer than the
                           SlowKeys delay).
       XkbAXN_SKRelease    An accepted SlowKeys key was released.
       XkbAXN_SKReject     A key was rejected (released before  the
                           SlowKeys delay expired).
       XkbAXN_BKAccept     A key was accepted by BounceKeys.
       XkbAXN_BKReject     A  key  was rejected (pressed before the
                           BounceKeys delay expired).
       XkbAXN_AXKWarning   AccessXKeys  is  about  to  turn  on/off
                           StickyKeys or BounceKeys.

       The  keycode  field  reports  the  keycode of the key for which the event occurred. If the
       action is related to SlowKeys, the  slowKeysDelay  field  contains  the  current  SlowKeys
       acceptance delay. If the action is related to BounceKeys, the debounceDelay field contains
       the current BounceKeys debounce delay.

       Selecting for AccessX Events

       To receive XkbAccessXNotify events under all possible conditions, use XkbSelectEvents  and
       pass XkbAccesXNotifyMask in both bits_to_change and values_for_bits.

       To  receive XkbStateNotify events only under certain conditions, use XkbSelectEventDetails
       using XkbAccessXNotify as the event_type and  specifying  the  desired  state  changes  in
       bits_to_change and values_for_bits using mask bits from Table 2.

       XkbGetSlowKeysDelay requests the attributes of the SlowKeys control from the server, waits
       for  a   reply   and   backfills   delay_rtrn   with   the   SlowKeys   delay   attribute.
       XkbGetSlowKeysDelay returns True if successful; , XkbGetSlowKeysDelay returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True           The  XkbGetSlowKeysDelay  function  returns  True  if  the  request  of the
                      Slowkeys control from the server was successful.

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

STRUCTURES

       The structure for the XkbAccessXNotify event type is as follows:

       typedef struct {
           int            type;           /∗ Xkb extension base event code */
