NAME
dxkbledpanel - Present an on-screen display of keyboard indicators. SYNOPSIS
dxkbledpanel [options] OPTIONS
mask is a bitmask where each bit corresponds to one of the thirty-two available keyboard indicators. If -watch is used, dxkbledpanel will only display the indicators specified by mask. -automatic instructs dxkbledpanel to omit automatic XKB indicators from the display. +automatic instructs dxkbledpanel to include automatic XKB indicators in the display. -explicit instructs dxkbledpanel to omit explicit XKB indicators from the display. +explicit instructs dxkbledpanel to include explicit XKB indicators in the display. -named instructs dxkbledpanel to omit named XKB indicators from the display. +named instructs dxkbledpanel to include named XKB indicators in the display. -real instructs dxkbledpanel to omit real XKB indicators from the display. +real instructs dxkbledpanel to include real XKB indicators in the display. -virtual instructs dxkbledpanel to omit virtual XKB indicators from the display. +virtual instructs dxkbledpanel to include virtual XKB indicators in the display. -intersection instructs dxkbledpanel to only present the indicators that meet each of the require- ments specified by the above options. -union instructs dxkbledpanel to present the indicators that meet any of the requirements specified by the above The default set of options is -intersection +named +virtual. DESCRIPTION
The dxkbledpanel command is meant to be a replacement for the kb_indicator application. If XKB is active in the server, the dxkbledpanel command presents an on-screen display of keyboard indicators. Each of the indicators is represented by a toggle button. Pressing on the toggle button will change the state of the indicator as well as the modifier, control, or group state flagged by the indicator. See the XKB library specification for more information on modifier, control, and group state. SEE ALSO

XkbGetIndicatorState(3) 					   XKB FUNCTIONS					   XkbGetIndicatorState(3)

NAME
XkbGetIndicatorState - Obtains the current state of the keyboard indicators SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetIndicatorState (Display *display, unsigned int device_spec, unsigned int state_return); ARGUMENTS
- display connection to the X server - device_spec device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd - state_return backfilled with a mask of the indicator state DESCRIPTION
Xkb allows applications to obtain information about indicators using two different methods. The first method, which is similar to the core X implementation, uses a mask to specify the indicators. The second method, which is more suitable for applications concerned with interop- erability, uses indicator names. The correspondence between the indicator name and the bit position in masks is as follows: one of the parameters returned from XkbGetNamedIndicators is an index that is the bit position to use in any function call that requires a mask of indicator bits, as well as the indicator's index into the XkbIndicatorRec array of indicator maps. XkbGetIndicatorState queries the display for the state of the indicators on the device specified by the device_spec. For each indicator that is "turned on" on the device, the associated bit is set in state_return. If a compatible version of the Xkb extension is not avail- able in the server, XkbGetIndicatorState returns a BadMatch error. Otherwise, it sends the request to the X server, places the state of the indicators into state_return, and returns Success. Thus the value reported by XkbGetIndicatorState is identical to the value reported by the core protocol. DIAGNOSTICS
BadMatch A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid SEE ALSO
