Questions about disabling key repeat for a keycode or a keysym

[박성진]

Dear Ran,
thanks for your help. :)
As you commented, I put the repeat string and value into inet file.
It's succeed to control the repeat for each key. :)

I would consider proposing to add our custom keys to xproto, but I think there are also many product specific keys.
Thanks for your recommendation and I'll try to do it.

Regards,
Sung-Jin Park

I see there is already

    key <I153>   {      [ XF86Send              ]       };

in the "evdev" map; do you override it, or you're not using "evdev"?

Anyway, to make it not repeat, you can write this:

    key <I153> { [XF86VoiceWakeUp ], repeat=False }

There is nothing stopping you from modifying xkbcommon-keysyms.h like you did, but note that xkbcommon-keysyms.h is generated from /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h and other files, which are maintained in the "xproto" package[0]. So, if the keysyms you are adding make general sense, consider proposing to add them to xproto first. If they're accepted they will be added in a subsequent xkbcommon release.

[0] https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/proto/xproto/

Alternatively, you can use an "anonymous" keysym, written like `0x123456`, with an appropriate value, then you can name it in your code instead of patching xkbcommon.
