XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat(3)	 XKB FUNCTIONS	 XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat(3)

NAME
       XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat  - Determines whether or not the server sup‐
       ports DetectableAutoRepeat

SYNOPSIS
       Bool   XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat   (Display   *display,	  Bool	 *sup‐
	      ported_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS
       - display
	      connection to X server

       - supported_rtrn
	      backfilled True if DetectableAutoRepeat supported

DESCRIPTION
       Auto-repeat is the generation of multiple key events by a keyboard when
       the user presses a key and holds it down. Keyboard hardware and device-
       dependent  X  server software often implement auto-repeat by generating
       multiple KeyPress events with  no  intervening  KeyRelease  event.  The
       standard behavior of the X server is to generate a KeyRelease event for
       every KeyPress event. If the  keyboard  hardware	 and  device-dependent
       software	 of  the X server implement auto-repeat by generating multiple
       KeyPress events, the device-independent part of the X server by default
       synthetically  generates	 a KeyRelease event after each KeyPress event.
       This provides predictable behavior for X clients, but  does  not	 allow
       those clients to detect the fact that a key is auto-repeating.

       Xkb  allows  clients  to	 request  detectable auto-repeat.  If a client
       requests and the server supports	 DetectableAutoRepeat,	Xkb  generates
       KeyRelease  events  only	 when  the  key	 is  physically	 released.  If
       DetectableAutoRepeat is not supported or has not	 been  requested,  the
       server synthesizes a KeyRelease event for each repeating KeyPress event
       it generates.

       DetectableAutoRepeat, unlike other controls, is not  contained  in  the
       XkbControlsRec  structure,  nor	can  it be enabled or disabled via the
       EnabledControls control.	 Instead, query and  set  DetectableAutoRepeat
       using XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat and XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat.

       DetectableAutoRepeat  is	 a  condition  that  applies  to  all keyboard
       devices for a client's connection to a given X  server;	it  cannot  be
       selectively  set	 for some devices and not for others. For this reason,
       none  of	 the  Xkb  library  functions  involving  DetectableAutoRepeat
       involve a device specifier.

       XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat  queries the server for the current state of
       DetectableAutoRepeat and waits for a reply. If  supported_rtrn  is  not
       NULL,  it  backfills  supported_rtrn  with  True if the server supports
       DetectableAutoRepeat, and False otherwise.   XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat
       returns	the  current  state of DetectableAutoRepeat for the requesting
       client: True if DetectableAutoRepeat is set, and False otherwise.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat function returns True  if
		      the server supports DetectableAutoRepeat.

       False	      The XkbGetDetectableAutoRepeat function returns False if
		      the server does not support DetectableAutoRepeat.
