6 XkbSARedirectSetVMods - Sets the vmods0 and vmods1 of act from v

9 void XkbSARedirectSetVMods (XkbRedirectKeyAction act, unsigned int v);
10
12 - act action in which to set vmods
13 - v new value for virtual modifiers

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