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.
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.

XkbGetAutoRepeatRate queries the server for the current values of the
RepeatControls control attributes, backfills timeout_rtrn and
interval_rtrn with them, and returns True. If a compatible version of
the Xkb extension is not available in the server XkbGetAutoRepeatRate
returns False.

RETURN VALUES

True The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate function returns True if a
compatible 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.
