			<tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt> sets the key repeat mode for the window system on a global basis if possible. If
			supported by the window system, the key repeat can either be enabled, disabled, or set to the window system's default
			key repeat state.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutSetKeyRepeat.3GLUT-glut_implementation_notes_for_x11"/><h2>Glut Implementation Notes For X11</h2><p>
			X11 sends KeyPress events repeatedly when the window system's global auto repeat is enabled. <a href="glutIgnoreKeyRepeat.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutIgnoreKeyRepeat</tt></a> 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 <tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt> routine can be used to actually disable the
			global sending of auto repeated KeyPress events. Note that <tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt> affects the global
			window system auto repeat state so other applications will not auto repeat if you disable auto repeat globally through
			<tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt>.
		</p><p>
			GLUT applications using the X11 GLUT implemenation should disable key repeat with <tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt>
			to disable key repeats most efficiently.
		</p><p>
			GLUT applications that change the key repeat state with <tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt> are responsible for
			explicitly restoring the default key repeat state on exit.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutSetKeyRepeat.3GLUT-glut_implementation_notes_for_win32"/><h2>Glut Implementation Notes For Win32</h2><p>
			The Win32 implementation of <tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt> does nothing. The <a href="glutIgnoreKeyRepeat.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutIgnoreKeyRepeat</tt></a> routine can be used in the Win32 GLUT implementation to ignore
			repeated keys on a per-window basis without changing the global window system key repeat.
