glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(3GLUT)                          GLUT                          glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(3GLUT)



NAME
       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat - determines if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to the current window

SYNTAX
       void glutIgnoreKeyRepeat(int ignore);

ARGUMENTS
       ignore    Non-zero  indicates  auto repeat keystrokes should not be reported by the keyboard and spe-cial special
                 cial callbacks; zero indicates that auto repeat keystrokes will be reported.

DESCRIPTION
       glutIgnoreKeyRepeat determines if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to  the  current  window.   The
       ignore     auto     repeat     state     of    a    window    can    be    queried    with    glutDe-viceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT). glutDeviceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT).
       viceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT).

       Ignoring auto repeated keystrokes is generally done in conjunction with using the  glutKeyboardUpFunc
       and  glutSpecialUpFunc  callbacks  to  repeat  key releases.  If you do not ignore auto repeated key-strokes, keystrokes,
       strokes, your GLUT application will experience repeated release/press  callbacks.   Games  using  the
       keyboard will typically want to ignore key repeat.

GLUT IMPLEMENTATION NOTES FOR X11
       X11 sends KeyPress events repeatedly when the window system's global auto repeat is enabled.  glutIg-noreKeyRepeat glutIgnoreKeyRepeat
       noreKeyRepeat can prevent these auto repeated keystrokes from being reported as keyboard  or  special
       callbacks,  but  there  is still some minimal overhead by the X server to continually stream KeyPress
       events to the GLUT application.  The glutSetKeyRepeat routine can be used  to  actually  disable  the
       global  sending of auto repeated KeyPress events.  Note that glutSetKeyRepeat affects the global win-dow window
       dow system auto repeat state so other applications will not auto repeat if you  disable  auto  repeat
       globally through glutSetKeyRepeat.
