I agree. That's what it should be, but in my experience it's not. I mean, there is no control but when something fails. Smilie

in this highly audited world we now operate under, all scripts that affect production will eventually be looked at with more than a passing glance and could possibly affect your job situation if found to be non-compliant ...
Exactly. They all will eventually be looked at. But most scripts are no controlled untill they "affect" your job situation, don't you think? Smilie
Of course there are places where everithing is taken into account, and must fulfil a bunch of rules and requirements. I think that's a matter of money.

XkbLockModifiers(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					       XkbLockModifiers(3)

NAME
XkbLockModifiers - Locks and unlocks any of the eight real keyboard modifiers SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbLockModifiers ( display, device_spec, affect, values ) Display *display; unsigned int device_spec; unsigned int affect; unsigned int values; ARGUMENTS
display connection to the X server device_spec device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd affect mask of real modifiers whose lock state is to change values 1 => lock, 0 => unlock; only for modifiers selected by affect DESCRIPTION
XkbLockModifiers sends a request to the server to lock the real modifiers selected by both affect and values and to unlock the real modi- fiers selected by affect, but not selected by values. XkbLockModifiers does not wait for a reply from the server. It returns True if the request was sent, and False otherwise. The functions in this section that change the use of modifiers use a mask in the parameter affect. It is a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal modifier masks: Table 1 Real Modifier Masks ---------------------------- Mask ---------------------------- ShiftMask LockMask ControlMask Mod1Mask Mod2Mask Mod3Mask Mod4Mask Mod5Mask RETURN VALUES
True The XkbLockModifiers function returns True if a request is sent to the server to lock the real modifiers selected by both affect and values and to unlock the real modifiers selected by affect, but not selected by values. False The XkbLockModifiers function returns False if the request was not sent. X Version 11 libX11 1.2.1 XkbLockModifiers(3)
