XkbSetIndicatorMap(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					     XkbSetIndicatorMap(3)

NAME

       XkbSetIndicatorMap  -  Downloads  the  changes  to the server based on modifications to a local copy of the keyboard description which will
       update the maps for one or more indicators

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetIndicatorMap ( dpy, which, desc )
	     Display * dpy ;
	     unsigned int  which ;
	     XkbDescPtr  desc ;

ARGUMENTS

       - dpy  connection to the X server

       - which
	      mask of indicators to change

       - desc keyboard description from which the maps are taken

DESCRIPTION

       This section discusses the effects of explicitly changing indicators depending upon different settings in the indicator map. See  Tables  1
       and Table 2 for information on the effects of the indicator map fields when explicit changes are made.

	    Table 1 XkbIndicatorMapRec which_groups and groups,
			  Indicator Drives Keyboard
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       which_groups	    New State	Effect on Keyboard Group State
       ----------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbIM_UseNone	    On or Off	No effect
       XkbIM_UseBase	    On or Off	No effect
       XkbIM_UseLatched     On		The groups field is treated as
					a  group  mask.  The  keyboard
					group  latch is changed to the
					lowest numbered  group	speci-
					fied  in  groups; if groups is
					empty,	the   keyboard	 group
					latch is changed to zero.
       XkbIM_UseLatched     Off 	The groups field is treated as
					a group mask. If the indicator
					is   explicitly  extinguished,
					keyboard   group   latch    is
					changed to the lowest numbered
					group not specified in groups;
					if  groups  is	zero, the key-
					board group latch  is  set  to
					the index of the highest legal
					keyboard group.
       XkbIM_UseLocked or
       XkbIM_UseEffective   On		If the groups mask  is	empty,
					group  is  not changed; other-
					wise,  the   locked   keyboard
					group is changed to the lowest
					numbered  group  specified  in
					groups.
       XkbIM_UseLocked or
       XkbIM_UseEffective   Off 	Locked	 keyboard   group   is
					changed to the lowest numbered
					group that is not specified in
					the groups mask, or to	Group1
					if  the  groups  mask contains
					all keyboard groups.

       -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
       XkbIM_UseNone or XkbIM_UseBase				 On or Off   No Effect
       XkbIM_UseLatched 					 On	     Any modifiers specified in the
									     mask  field  of mods are added
									     to the latched modifiers.
       XkbIM_UseLatched 					 Off	     Any modifiers specified in the
									     mask field of mods are removed
									     from the latched modifiers.
       XkbIM_UseLocked, XkbIM_UseCompat, or XkbIM_UseEffective	 On	     Any modifiers specified in the
									     mask  field  of mods are added
									     to the locked modifiers.
       XkbIM_UseLocked						 Off	     Any modifiers specified in the
									     mask field of mods are removed
									     from the locked modifiers.
       XkbIM_UseCompat or XkbIM_UseEffective			 Off	     Any modifiers specified in the
									     mask field of mods are removed
									     from  both  the   locked	and
									     latched modifiers.

       If  XkbIM_LEDDrivesKB  is  set and XkbIM_NoExplicit is not, and if you call a function that updates the server's image of the indicator map
       (such as XkbSetIndicatorMap or XkbSetNamedIndicator),
	Xkb changes the keyboard state and controls to reflect the other fields of the indicator map. If you  attempt  to  explicitly  change  the
       value  of an indicator for which XkbIM_LEDDrivesKB is absent or for which XkbIM_NoExplicit is present, keyboard state or controls are unaf-
       fected.

       If neither XkbIM_NoAutomatic nor XkbIM_NoExplicit is set in an indicator map, Xkb honors any request to change the state of the	indicator,
       but the new state might be immediately superseded by automatic changes to the indicator state if the keyboard state or controls change.

       The  effects of changing an indicator that drives the keyboard are cumulative; it is possible for a single change to affect keyboard group,
       modifiers, and controls simultaneously.

       If you change an indicator for which both the XkbIM_LEDDrivesKB and XkbIM_NoAutomatic flags are specified, Xkb applies the keyboard changes
       specified  in  the  other  indicator map fields and changes the indicator to reflect the state that was explicitly requested. The indicator
       remains in the new state until it is explicitly changed again.

       If the XkbIM_NoAutomatic flag is not set and XkbIM_LEDDrivesKB is set, Xkb applies the changes specified in the other indicator map  fields
       and  sets  the state of the indicator to the values specified by the indicator map. Note that it is possible in this case for the indicator
       to end up in a different state than the one that was explicitly	requested.  For  example,  Xkb	does  not  extinguish  an  indicator  with
       which_mods  of XkbIM_UseBase and mods of Shift if, at the time Xkb processes the request to extinguish the indicator, one of the Shift keys
       is physically depressed.

       If you explicitly light an indicator for which XkbIM_LEDDrivesKB is set, Xkb enables all of the boolean controls  specified  in	the  ctrls
       field  of  its  indicator  map.	Explicitly  extinguishing such an indicator causes Xkb to disable all of the boolean controls specified in
       ctrls.

       For each bit set in the which parameter, XkbSetIndicatorMap sends the corresponding indicator map from the desc parameter to the server.
