NAME

kbd_repeat - Change keyboard repeat period

SYNOPSIS

old_period, old_delay
kbd_repeat( repeat_period, repeat_delay )

DESCRIPTION

Keyboard- and mouse input devices are treated as somewhat special compared to other forms of input, and therefore has more global states tracked. This function is used to manipulate the behavior for when a key is pressed and held down. The repeat_period argument specifies the number of miliseconds between each press/release event, or 0 if disabled. The optional repeat_delay argument specifies how long the key has to be held down before the repeat press/release events start being delivered.

NOTES

1: If period is set to a negative number, only the old values will be returned.
