xkbset - user preference utility for XKB extensions for X

Author

       Stephen Montgomery-Smith, University of Missouri

X Version 11                                       Release 6.4                                         XKBSET(1)

Bugs

       In some earlier versions of X, some of the  features  do  not  work  properly.   For  example,  mousekeys
       acceleration.   Also,  the perkeyrepeat option (or repeatkey followed by a key code) did not work.  These
       are due to bugs in the XKB extensions.  These bugs are fixed in more recent versions of X.

       Also the man page is woefully incomplete.

Description

       This  program  can  be  used  to set various options available in the XKB extensions.  This includes such
       things as mousekeys where one can use the numeric pad keys to move the mouse; stickykeys where  modifiers
       like  control  and  shift will lock until the next key press (good for one finger typing); slowkeys where
       the keys will not work unless they are pressed for a certain amount of time; and bouncekeys in which if a
       key is pressed more than once rapidly, only one key press will be registered.

Name

       xkbset - user preference utility for XKB extensions for X

Options

b       The b option controls whether the bell is switched on or off.

       h       The h option (or no options)  will  type  a  rather  helpful  usage  message  -  definitely  more
               informative than this unfinished man page.

       perkeyrepeathex-mask
               With  this  option,  hex-mask is a sequence of 64 hex digits, representing 32 bytes.  These bytes
               represent which keys will autorepeat, and which will not.  The 8n+kth key will autorepeat if  the
               kth bit of the nth byte is set.  See also the r or the repeatkey option.

       repeatkeys|r[key-code|ratedelay[interval]]
               The  r  or  repeatkey   option  can be used to control the autorepeat feature.  By itself, it can
               switch the autorepeat on or off.  Followed  by  a  single  number,  it  can  be  used  to  switch
               autorepeat on or off for that particular keycode (see also the perkeyrepeat option).  Followed by
               rate,  it  can be used to set the time in milliseconds after the key is pressed before autorepeat
               will start, and optionally the time in milliseconds between the key repeats.
