DESCRIPTION

19       Actions  associated  with  the  XkbRedirectKeyAction structure generate
20       KeyPress and KeyRelease events containing a keycode different from  the
21       key that was pressed or released.
22
23       The  type field for the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure should always be
24       XkbSA_RedirectKey.  Key presses cause a  KeyPress  event  for  the  key
25       specified  by  the  new_key  field instead of the actual key. The state
26       reported in this event reports the current effective modifiers  changed
27       as  follows: any real modifiers selected by the mods_mask field are set
28       to corresponding values from the mods field. Any real  modifiers  bound
29       to  the  virtual modifiers specified by the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1
30       fields are either set or cleared, depending on the corresponding values
31       in the vmods0 and vmods1 fields. If the real and virtual modifier defi‐
32       nitions specify conflicting values for a single modifier, the real mod‐
33       ifier definition has priority.
34
35       Key  releases  cause  a  KeyRelease  event for the key specified by the
36       new_key field instead of the actual key. The state for this event  con‐
37       sists  of  the effective keyboard modifiers at the time of the release,
38       changed as described previously.
39
40       The XkbSA_RedirectKey action normally redirects to another key  on  the
41       same  device  as the key that caused the event, unless that device does
42       not belong to the input extension KeyClass, in which case  this  action
43       causes an event on the core keyboard device. (The input extension cate‐
44       gorizes devices by breaking them into  classes.  Keyboards,  and  other
45       input  devices  with  keys,  are  classified as KeyClass devices by the
46       input extension.)
47
48       The  vmods_mask0  and  vmods_mask1  fields   actually   represent   one
49       vmods_mask  value.  Xkb provides macros to convert between the two for‐
50       mats.
51
52       XkbSARedirectSetVModsMask sets the vmods_mask0 and  vmods_mask1  fields
53       of act from vm.
