Syntax

WORD Kbrate( delay, rate )
WORD delay, rate;

Function      Kbrate() reads/modifies the keyboard repeat/delay rate.

Opcode        35 (0x23)

Availability  All TOS versions.

Parameters    delay specifies the amount of time (in 50Hz ticks) before
              a key begins repeating. rate indicates the amount of time
              between repeats (in 50Hz ticks). A parameter of KB_INQUIRE
              (1) for either of these values leaves the value unchanged.

Binding       move.w   rate,-(sp)
              move.w   delay,-(sp)
              move.w   #$23,-(sp)
              trap     #14
              addq.l   #6,sp

Return Value  Kbrate() returns a WORD with the low byte being the old
              value for rate and the high byte being the old value for
              delay.
