Hi,
Is there a flag somewhere in the _XEvent union on a KeyPress and
KeyRelease event that indicates whether this is an event generated by
auto-repeat versus one generated by the physical key being pressed or
released? I'm sorry if this question has been asked a million times.
I'm no X11 developer; I'm only trying to make a quick patch to an
existing library.
You need to use the X Keyboard (aka XKB) extension to determine if an
event is autorepeat-generated or a real keypress. In there, the function
XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat will allow you to disable the auto-generated
KeyRelease events for autorepeats, so a KeyPress followed by a KeyPress
of the same key, without a KeyRelease in between, indicates auto-repeat.
