autorepeat keyPress only

[Gideon]

Okay I got what you mean, but it is a function for the application.  In fact I want to modify the Xserver to do that.  I'm not sure about the design architecture but is that possible? If it's possible which file should I look into?

XkbSetDetectableAutoRepeat is what you need, and it's been in libX11
since X11R6.4, so look again.
