XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3) NAME XkbGetAutoRepeatRate - Gets the current attributes of the RepeatKeys control for a keyboard device SYNOPSIS Bool XkbGetAutoRepeatRate (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int *timeout_rtrn, unsigned int *interval_rtrn); ARGUMENTS display connection to X server device_spec desired device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd timeout_rtrn backfilled with initial repeat delay, ms interval_rtrn backfilled with subsequent repeat delay, ms DESCRIPTION The core protocol allows only control over whether or not the entire keyboard or individual keys should auto-repeat when held down. Re- peatKeys 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 con- trol: 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, time- out, 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 op- erates does not automatically enable the control as a whole. XkbGetAutoRepeatRate queries the server for the current values of the RepeatControls control attributes, backfills timeout_rtrn and inter- val_rtrn with them, and returns True. If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server XkbGetAutoRepeatRate re- turns False. RETURN VALUES True The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate function returns True if a com- patible version of the Xkb extension is available in the server. False The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate function returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server. X Version 11 libX11 1.8.10 XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)
