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 inter- val_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. X Version 11 libX11 1.6.0 XkbGetAutoRepeatRate(3)

XkbGetAccessXTimeout(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbGetAccessXTimeout(3) NAME
XkbGetAccessXTimeout - Queries the current AccessXTimeout options for a keyboard device SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbGetAccessXTimeout ( display, device_spec, timeout_rtrn, ctrls_mask_rtrn, ctrls_values_rtrn, options_mask_rtrn, options_values_rtrn ) Display * display ; unsigned int device_spec ; unsigned short * timeout_rtrn ; unsigned int * ctrls_mask_rtrn ; unsigned int * ctrls_values_rtrn ; unsigned short * options_mask_rtrn ; unsigned short * options_values_rtrn ; ARGUMENTS
- display unsigned short - device_spec device to query, or XkbUseCoreKbd - timeout_rtrn delay until AccessXTimeout, seconds - ctrls_mask_rtrn backfilled with controls to modify - ctrls_values_rtrn backfilled with on/off status for controls - options_mask_rtrn backfilled with ax_options to modify - options_values_rtrn backfilled with values for ax_options DESCRIPTION
In environments where computers are shared, features such as SlowKeys present a problem: if SlowKeys is on, the keyboard can appear to be unresponsive because keys are not accepted until they are held for a certain period of time. To help solve this problem, Xkb provides an AccessXTimeout control to automatically change the enabled/disabled state of any boolean controls and to change the value of the AccessXKeys and AccessXFeedback control attributes if the keyboard is idle for a specified period of time. When a timeout as specified by AccessXTimeout occurs and a control is consequently modified, Xkb generates an XkbControlsNotify event. XkbGetAccessXTimeout sends a request to the X server to obtain the current values for the AccessXTimeout attributes, waits for a reply, and backfills the values into the appropriate arguments. The parameters options_mask_rtrn and options_values_rtrn are backfilled with the options to modify and the values for ax_options, which is a field in the XkbControlsRec structure. XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns True if successful; if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns False. RETURN VALUES
True The XkbGetAccessXTimeout returns True when it successfully sends a request to the X server to obtain the current values for the AccessXTimeout attributes, waits for a reply, and backfills the values into the appropriate arguments. False The XkbGetAccessXTimeout funtion returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server. STRUCTURES
