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.

       This request affects all keyboard activity for  the  requesting	client
       only;  other  clients  still see the expected nondetectable auto-repeat
       behavior, unless they have requested otherwise.

       XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat  sends  a  request  to  the  server  to  set
       DetectableAutorepeat  on  for the current client if detectable is True,
       and off if detectable is False; it then waits  for  a  reply.  If  sup-
       ported_rtrn  is	not  NULL,  XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat	backfills sup-
       ported_rtrn with True if the server supports DetectableAutorepeat,  and
       False  if  it does not.	XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat returns the current
       state of  DetectableAutorepeat  for  the  requesting  client:  True  if
       DetectableAutorepeat is set, and False otherwise.

RETURN VALUES
       True	      The  XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat function returns True if
		      DetectableAutorepeat is set.

       False	      The XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat function returns False if
		      DetectableAutorepeat is not set.
