Prevent Key Repeat from icewm-keys

[ninjacatz]

I've been trying for a while to figure out how to get IceWM keybinds set in the keys file to be single-press rather than repeating. Looking through all of the settings and the manual haven't yielded any information regarding this. Sometimes, you have a keybind that you REALLY don't want to trigger multiple times accidently. Am I missing something or is this not possible? Or maybe I am understanding the issue in the wrong way (it is not the responsibility of the WM)? Thank you

The XKeyEvent doesn't tell if it was due to a repetition or not. So icewm doesn't have that info.

The xset r command allows to disable repeat for some keys.

In a script you could use the following algorithm:

if [ file7 doesn't exists or the current time minus its modification time is greater than the repetition time ]
then do the work of your keybinding
else don't
fi
touch file7

Thank you for clarifying this is not an icewm problem. I have been able to wrap the worst offenders in constraints with help from your algorithm.
