I plan to bootstrap this process by writing 100 TRUE/FALSE questions.

If anyone wants to write any TRUE/FALSE questions (which I will manually enter into the DB, until I build a UI for this), please do so and email or PM them to me (so we don't have all the questions and answers to questions in the open forum). -- Thanks

xkbsetautorepeatrate

XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbSetAutoRepeatRate(3)

NAME

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate - Sets the attributes of the RepeatKeys control for a keyboard device

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetAutoRepeatRate (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int timeout, unsigned int interval);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
	      connection to X server

       - device_spec
	      device to configure, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - timeout
	      initial delay, ms

       - interval
	      delay between repeats, ms

DESCRIPTION

       The  core  protocol  allows  only  control  over  whether  or not the entire keyboard or individual keys should auto-repeat when held down.
       RepeatKeys is a boolean control that extends this capability by adding control over the delay until a key begins to repeat and the rate	at
       which  it repeats. RepeatKeys is coupled with the core auto-repeat control: when RepeatKeys is enabled or disabled, the core auto-repeat is
       enabled or disabled and vice versa.

       Auto-repeating keys are controlled by two attributes. The first, timeout, is the delay after the initial press of an auto-repeating key and
       the  first  generated  repeat event. The second, interval, is the delay between all subsequent generated repeat events. As with all boolean
       controls, configuring the attributes that determine how the control operates does not automatically enable the control as a whole.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate sends a request to the X server to configure the AutoRepeat control attributes to the values specified in timeout  and
       interval.

       XkbSetAutoRepeatRate does not wait for a reply; it normally returns True. Specifying a zero value for either timeout or interval causes the
       server to generate a BadValue protocol error. If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in  the  server,  XkbSetAutoRe-
       peatRate returns False.

RETURN VALUES

       True	      The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate function returns True normally.

       False	      The XkbSetAutoRepeatRate function returns False if a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not available in the server.

DIAGNOSTICS

       BadValue       An argument is out of range
