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-depen-
     dent  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  im-
     plement  auto-repeat by generating multiple KeyPress events, the device-in-
     dependent part of the X server by default synthetically generates a  KeyRe-
     lease  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  KeyRe-
     lease event for each repeating KeyPress event it generates.

     DetectableAutoRepeat,  unlike  other controls, is not contained in the Xkb-
     ControlsRec structure, nor can it be enabled or disabled via  the	Enabled-
     Controls control. Instead, query and set DetectableAutoRepeat using XkbGet-
     DetectableAutoRepeat 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  li-
     brary 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 De-
     tectableAutoRepeat on for the current client if detectable is True, and off
     if detectable is False; it then waits for a reply. If supported_rtrn is not
     NULL, XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat backfills supported_rtrn with True if  the
     server  supports DetectableAutoRepeat, and False if it does not.  XkbSetDe-
     tectableAutoRepeat returns the current state  of  DetectableAutoRepeat  for
     the  requesting client: True if DetectableAutoRepeat is set, and False oth-
     erwise.

RETURN VALUES
     True	    The XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat function returns True if  De-
		    tectableAutoRepeat is set.

     False	    The XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat function returns False if De-
		    tectableAutoRepeat is not set.
