xcb_ungrab_key

xcb_ungrab_key(3)						   XCB Requests 						 xcb_ungrab_key(3)

NAME

       xcb_ungrab_key - release a key combination

SYNOPSIS

       #include <xcb/xproto.h>

   Request function
       xcb_void_cookie_t xcb_ungrab_key(xcb_connection_t *conn, xcb_keycode_t key, xcb_window_t grab_window, uint16_t modifiers);

REQUEST ARGUMENTS

       conn	 The XCB connection to X11.

       key	 The keycode of the specified key combination.

		 Using the special value XCB_GRAB_ANY means releasing all possible key codes.

       grab_window
		 The window on which the grabbed key combination will be released.

       modifiers The modifiers of the specified key combination.

		 Using the special value XCB_MOD_MASK_ANY means releasing the key combination with every possible modifier combination.

DESCRIPTION

       Releases the key combination on grab_window if you grabbed it using xcb_grab_key before.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns an xcb_void_cookie_t. Errors (if any) have to be handled in the event loop.

       If you want to handle errors directly with xcb_request_check instead, use xcb_ungrab_key_checked. See xcb-requests(3) for details.

ERRORS

       xcb_window_error_t
		 The specified grab_window does not exist.

       xcb_value_error_t
