1. NAME▲

XkbGetAccessXTimeout - Queries the current AccessXTimeout options for a keyboard device

2. SYNOPSIS ▲

Bool XkbGetAccessXTimeout (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 );

3. 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

4. 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. XkbGetAccessXTimeoutsends 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_rtrnand options_values_rtrnare backfilled with the options to modify and the values for ax_options,which is a field in the XkbControlsRec structure. XkbGetAccessXTimeoutreturns True if successful; if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server, XkbGetAccessXTimeoutreturns False.

5. RETURN VALUES ▲

  • True
                   The XkbGetAccessXTimeoutreturns 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 XkbGetAccessXTimeoutfuntion returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server.
