			<tt>glutIgnoreKeyRepeat</tt> determines if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to the current window. The
			ignore auto repeat state of a window can be queried with <tt>glutDeviceGet(GLUT_DEVICE_IGNORE_KEY_REPEAT)</tt>.
		</p><p>
			Ignoring auto repeated keystrokes is generally done in conjunction with using the <a href="glutKeyboardUpFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutKeyboardUpFunc</tt></a> and <a href="glutSpecialUpFunc.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutSpecialUpFunc</tt></a>
			callbacks to repeat key releases. If you do not ignore auto repeated keystrokes, your GLUT application will experience
			repeated release/press callbacks. Games using the keyboard will typically want to ignore key repeat.
		</p></div><div class="refsect1" lang="en"><a name="glutIgnoreKeyRepeat.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.
			<tt>glutIgnoreKeyRepeat</tt> 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 <a href="glutSetKeyRepeat.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt></a> routine can be used to actually
			disable the global sending of auto repeated KeyPress events. Note that <a href="glutSetKeyRepeat.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt></a> affects the global window system auto repeat state so other
			applications will not auto repeat if you disable auto repeat globally through <a href="glutSetKeyRepeat.3GLUT.xml"><tt>glutSetKeyRepeat</tt></a>.
