globalKeyRepeat :: StateVar GlobalKeyRepeat
Controls 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 disabled, enabled, or set to the window system's default key repeat state. X Implementation Notes: X11 sends `KeyPress` events repeatedly when the window system's global auto repeat is enabled. `perWindowKeyRepeat` 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 `globalKeyRepeat` state variable can be used to actually disable the global sending of auto repeated `KeyPress` events. Note that `globalKeyRepeat` affects the global window system auto repeat state so other applications will not auto repeat if you disable auto repeat globally through `globalKeyRepeat`. GLUT applications using the X11 GLUT implementation should disable key repeat with `globalKeyRepeat` to disable key repeats most efficiently, but are responsible for explicitly restoring the default key repeat state on exit. Win32 Implementation Notes: The Win32 implementation of `globalKeyRepeat` does nothing. The `perWindowKeyRepeat` 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.

perWindowKeyRepeat :: StateVar PerWindowKeyRepeat
Controls if auto repeat keystrokes are reported to the current window. Ignoring auto repeated keystrokes is generally done in conjunction with using the `keyboardMouseCallback`. 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.
forceJoystickCallback :: IO ()
Execute the joystick callback set by `joystickCallback` once (if one exists). This is done in a synchronous fashion within the current context, i.e. when `forceJoystickCallback` returns, the callback will have already happened.
