7       fiers

SYNOPSIS

10       Bool XkbTranslateKeyCode (XkbDescPtr xkb,  KeyCode  key,  unsigned  int
11              mods, unsigned int *mods_rtrn, KeySym *keysym_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

14       - xkb  keyboard description to use for translation
15
16       - key  keycode to translate
17
18       - mods modifiers to apply when translating key
19
20       - mods_rtrn
21              backfilled with consumed modifiers
22
23       - keysym_rtrn
24              keysym resulting from translation
25

DESCRIPTION

27       mods_rtrn  is backfilled with the modifiers consumed by the translation
28       process.  mods is a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal  modifier  masks:
29       ShiftMask,   LockMask,   ControlMask,   Mod1Mask,  Mod2Mask,  Mod3Mask,
30       Mod4Mask, Mod5Mask.The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock library  control  (see
31       below),  if  enabled,  causes  XkbTranslateKeyCode to consume shift and
32       lock.  XkbTranslateKeyCode returns True if the translation resulted  in
33       a keysym, and False if it resulted in NoSymbol.
34
35       The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control, if enabled, forces XLookupString
36       to consume the Shift and Lock modifiers when processing all keys,  even
37       if  the  definition  for the key type does not specify these modifiers.
38       The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control is unset by default.
