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,  un-
	    signed 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 key-
     board or individual keys should auto-repeat when held down. RepeatKeys is a
     boolean control that extends this capability by adding control over the de-
     lay until a key begins to repeat and the rate  at	which  it  repeats.  Re-
     peatKeys  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 sub-
     sequent generated repeat events. As with all boolean controls,  configuring
     the  attributes  that determine how the control operates does not automati-
     cally enable the control as a whole.

     XkbSetAutoRepeatRate sends a request to the X server to configure	the  Au-
     toRepeat  control	attributes to the values specified in timeout and inter-
     val.

     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 ex-
     tension 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 compat-
		    ible version of the Xkb extension is not  available  in  the
		    server.

DIAGNOSTICS
     BadValue	    An argument is out of range
