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,
	      unsigned 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
       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 con‐
       trol: 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, time‐
       out, 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.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate sends a request to the X server to	configure  the
       AutoRepeat  control  attributes	to the values specified in timeout and
       interval.

       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  extension	is  not available in the server, XkbSetAutoRe‐
       peatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate function returns True normally.

       False	      The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate function	 returns  False	 if  a
		      compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available
		      in the server.

DIAGNOSTICS
       BadValue	      An argument is out of range
