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.
