XkbLookupKeySym(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS						XkbLookupKeySym(3)

NAME

       XkbLookupKeySym - Find the symbol associated with a key for a particular state

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbLookupKeySym (Display *dpy, KeyCode key, unsigned int state, unsigned int *mods_rtrn, KeySym *sym_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to X server

       - key  key for which symbols are to be found

       - state
	      state for which symbol should be found

       - mods_rtrn
	      backfilled with unconsumed modifiers

       - sym_rtrn
	      backfilled with symbol associated with key + state

DESCRIPTION

       XkbLookupKeySym	is  the  equivalent of the core XLookupKeySym function. For the core keyboard, given a keycode key and an Xkb state state,
       XkbLookupKeySym returns the symbol associated with the key in sym_rtrn and the list of modifiers that should still be applied in mods_rtrn.
       The state parameter is the state from a KeyPress or KeyRelease event.  XkbLookupKeySym returns True if it succeeds.

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 unconsumed 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.
