NAME

       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat - determines if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to the current window

SYNTAX

       void glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(int ignore);

ARGUMENTS

       ignore	 Non-zero  indicates auto repeat keystrokes should not be reported by the keyboard and special callbacks; zero indicates that auto
		 repeat keystrokes will be reported.

DESCRIPTION

       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat determines if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to the current window.  The ignore auto repeat state of a window  can
       be queried with glutDeviceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT).

       Ignoring  auto  repeated  keystrokes  is generally done in conjunction with using the glutKeyboardUpFunc and glutSpecialUpFunc callbacks to
       repeat key releases.  If you do not ignore auto repeated keystrokes, your GLUT application will	experience  repeated  release/press  call-
       backs.  Games using the keyboard will typically want to ignore key repeat.

GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR X11
       X11  sends  KeyPress  events repeatedly when the window system's global auto repeat is enabled.	glutIgnoreKeyRepeat can prevent these auto
       repeated keystrokes from being reported as keyboard or special callbacks, but there is still some minimal overhead by the X server to  con-
       tinually  stream  KeyPress events to the GLUT application.  The glutSetKeyRepeat routine can be used to actually disable the global sending
       of auto repeated KeyPress events.  Note that glutSetKeyRepeat affects the global window system auto repeat state so other applications will
       not auto repeat if you disable auto repeat globally through glutSetKeyRepeat.
