NAME
XkbGetBounceKeysDelay - Queries the current BounceKeys delay for a
keyboard device.
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbGetBounceKeysDelay (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec,
unsigned int *delay_rtrn);
ARGUMENTS
- display
connection to X server
- device_spec
device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd
- delay_rtrn
backfilled with bounce keys delay, ms
DESCRIPTION
The server can generate XkbAccessXNotify events for some of the global
keyboard controls. The detail field describes what AccessX event just
occurred and can be any of the values in Table 1.
Table 1 AccessXNotify Events
-------------------------------------------------------------
detail Reason
-------------------------------------------------------------
XkbAXN_SKPress A key was pressed when SlowKeys was
enabled.
XkbAXN_SKAccept A key was accepted (held longer than the
SlowKeys delay).
XkbAXN_SKRelease An accepted SlowKeys key was released.
XkbAXN_SKReject A key was rejected (released before the
SlowKeys delay expired).
XkbAXN_BKAccept A key was accepted by BounceKeys.
XkbAXN_BKReject A key was rejected (pressed before the
BounceKeys delay expired).
XkbAXN_AXKWarning AccessXKeys is about to turn on/off
StickyKeys or BounceKeys.
The keycode field reports the keycode of the key for which the event
occurred. If the action is related to SlowKeys, the slowKeysDelay field
contains the current SlowKeys acceptance delay. If the action is
related to BounceKeys, the debounceDelay field contains the current
BounceKeys debounce delay.
Selecting for AccessX Events
To receive XkbAccessXNotify events under all possible conditions, use
XkbSelectEvents and pass XkbAccesXNotifyMask in both bits_to_change and
values_for_bits.
To receive XkbStateNotify events only under certain conditions, use
XkbSelectEventDetails using XkbAccessXNotify as the event_type and
specifying the desired state changes in bits_to_change and
values_for_bits using mask bits from Table 2.

Some users may accidentally "bounce" on a key when they release it.
They press it once, then accidentally press it again after they release
it. The BounceKeys control temporarily disables a key after it has been
pressed, effectively "debouncing" the keyboard. The period of time the
key is disabled after it is released is known as the BounceKeys delay.
BounceKeys is a boolean control.
When the BounceKeys control is active, the server reports acceptance or
rejection of any key to interested clients by sending an appropriate
AccessXNotify event (see STRUCTURES).
XkbGetBounceKeysDelay requests the attributes of the BounceKeys control
from the server, waits for a reply, and backfills delay_rtrn with the
BounceKeys delay attribute. XkbGetBounceKeysDelay returns True if
successful; if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not
available in the server XkbGetSlowKeysDelay returns False.
RETURN VALUES
True The XkbGetBounceKeysDelay function returns True when it
successfully requests the attributes of the BounceKeys
control from the server, waits for a reply, and
backfills delay_rtrn with the BounceKeys delay
attribute.
False The XkbGetBounceKeysDelay function returns False if a
compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available
in the server.
STRUCTURES
The structure for the XkbAccessXNotify event type is as follows:
typedef struct {
int type; /∗ Xkb extension base event code */
unsigned long serial; /∗ X server serial number for event */
Bool send_event; /∗ True => synthetically generated */
Display * display; /∗ server connection where event generated */
Time time; /∗ server time when event generated */
int xkb_type; /∗ XkbAccessXNotify */
int device; /∗ Xkb device ID, will not be XkbUseCoreKbd
*/
int detail; /∗ XkbAXN_* */
KeyCode keycode; /∗ key of event */
int slowKeysDelay; /∗ current SlowKeys delay */
int debounceDelay; /∗ current debounce delay */
} XkbAccessXNotifyEvent;
