NAME
XkbTranslateKeyCode - Translate a keycode to a key symbol and
modifiers
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbTranslateKeyCode (XkbDescPtr xkb, KeyCode key, unsigned int
mods, unsigned int *mods_rtrn, KeySym *keysym_rtrn);
ARGUMENTS
- xkb keyboard description to use for translation
- key keycode to translate
- mods modifiers to apply when translating key
- mods_rtrn
backfilled with unconsumed modifiers
- keysym_rtrn
keysym resulting from translation
DESCRIPTION
mods_rtrn is backfilled with the modifiers consumed by the translation
process. mods is a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal modifier masks:
ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask,
Mod4Mask, Mod5Mask.The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock library control (see
below), if enabled, causes XkbTranslateKeyCode to consume shift and
lock. XkbTranslateKeyCode returns True if the translation resulted in
a keysym, and False if it resulted in NoSymbol.
The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control, if enabled, forces XLookupString
to consume the Shift and Lock modifiers when processing all keys, even
if the definition for the key type does not specify these modifiers.
The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control is unset by default.
