27 The core protocol allows only control over whether or not the entire
28 keyboard or individual keys should auto-repeat when held down. Re‐
29 peatKeys is a boolean control that extends this capability by adding
30 control over the delay until a key begins to repeat and the rate at
31 which it repeats. RepeatKeys is coupled with the core auto-repeat con‐
32 trol: when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the core auto-repeat is
33 enabled or disabled and vice versa.
34
35 Auto-repeating keys are controlled by two attributes. The first, time‐
36 out, is the delay after the initial press of an auto-repeating key and
37 the first generated repeat event. The second, interval, is the delay
38 between all subsequent generated repeat events. As with all boolean
39 controls, configuring the attributes that determine how the control op‐
40 erates does not automatically enable the control as a whole.
41
42 XkbGetAutoRepeatRate queries the server for the current values of the
43 RepeatControls control attributes, backfills timeout_rtrn and inter‐
44 val_rtrn with them, and returns True. If a compatible version of the
45 Xkb extension is not available in the server XkbGetAutoRepeatRate re‐
46 turns False.
47
49 True The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate function returns True if a com‐
50 patible version of the Xkb extension is available in the
51 server.
52
53 False The XkbGetAutoRepeatRate function returns False if a
54 compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available
55 in the server.
