+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.LP
+Auto-repeat is the generation of multiple key events by a keyboard when the user
+presses a key and holds it down. Keyboard hardware and device-dependent X server
+software often implement auto-repeat by generating multiple KeyPress events with
+no intervening KeyRelease event. The standard behavior of the X server is to
+generate a KeyRelease event for every KeyPress event. If the keyboard hardware
+and device-dependent software of the X server implement auto-repeat by
+generating multiple KeyPress events, the device-independent part of the X server
+by default synthetically generates a KeyRelease event after each KeyPress event.
+This provides predictable behavior for X clients, but does not allow those
+clients to detect the fact that a key is auto-repeating.
+
+Xkb allows clients to request
+.I detectable auto-repeat.
+If a client requests and the server supports DetectableAutorepeat, Xkb generates
+KeyRelease events only when the key is physically released. If
+DetectableAutorepeat is not supported or has not been requested, the server
+synthesizes a KeyRelease event for each repeating KeyPress event it generates.
+
+DetectableAutorepeat, unlike other controls, is not contained in the
+XkbControlsRec structure, nor can it be enabled or disabled via the
+EnabledControls control. Instead, query and set DetectableAutorepeat using
+.I XkbGetDetectableAutorepeat
+and
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat.
+
+DetectableAutorepeat is a condition that applies to all keyboard devices for a
+client's connection to a given X server; it cannot be selectively set for some
+devices and not for others. For this reason, none of the Xkb library functions
+involving DetectableAutorepeat involve a device specifier.
+
+This request affects all keyboard activity for the requesting client only; other
+clients still see the expected nondetectable auto-repeat behavior, unless they
+have requested otherwise.
+
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat
+sends a request to the server to set DetectableAutorepeat on for the current
+client if
+.I detectable
+is True, and off if
+.I detectable
+is False; it then waits for a reply. If
+.I supported_rtrn
+is not NULL,
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat
+backfills
+.I supported_rtrn
+with True if the server supports DetectableAutorepeat, and False if it does not.
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat
+returns the current state of DetectableAutorepeat for the requesting client:
+True if DetectableAutorepeat is set, and False otherwise.
+.SH "RETURN VALUES"
+.TP 15
+True
+The
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat
+function returns True if DetectableAutorepeat is set.
+.TP 15
+False
+The
+.I XkbSetDetectableAutorepeat
+function returns False if DetectableAutorepeat is not set.
