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.
