autorepeat

Turn on/off the autorepeat event generated when the button is kept pressed

When off, no autorepeat is performed and buttons emit a normal clicked signal when they are clicked.

When on, keeping a button pressed will continuously emit a repeated signal until the button is released. The time it takes until it starts emitting the signal is given by autorepeat_initial_timeout, and the time between each new emission by autorepeat_gap_timeout.

Type:bool

autorepeat_gap_timeout

The interval between each generated autorepeat event

After the first repeated event is fired, all subsequent ones will follow after a delay of t seconds for each.

autorepeat_initial_timeout

The initial timeout before the autorepeat event is generated

Reflects the timeout, in seconds, since the button is pressed until the first repeated signal is emitted. If t is 0.0 or less, there won’t be any delay and the event will be fired the moment the button is pressed.
