NAME

XmTranslateKey -- The default keycode-to-keysym translator

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmTranslateKey(
Display *display,
KeyCode keycode,
Modifiers modifiers,
Modifiers *modifiers_return,
KeySym *keysym_return);

DESCRIPTION

XmTranslateKey is the default XtKeyProc translation procedure for
Motif applications. The function takes a keycode and modifiers and
returns the corresponding keysym.

XmTranslateKey serves two main purposes: to enable new translators
with expanded functionality to get the default Motif keycode-to-
keysym translation in addition to whatever they add, and to reinstall
the default translator. This function enables keysyms defined by the
Motif virtual bindings to be used when an application requires its
own XtKeyProc to be installed.

display Specifies the display that the keycode is from

keycode Specifies the keycode to translate

modifiers Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the keycode

modifiers_return
Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually used to
generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers and any default
modifiers applied by the currently registered translator)

keysym_return
Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
