XkbTranslateKeyCode(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbTranslateKeyCode(3)

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 consumed 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.
