XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)          XKB FUNCTIONS         XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)

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
       BadValue       An argument is out of range
