NAME

       XkbSARedirectVModsMask - Returns the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields of act converted to an unsigned int

SYNOPSIS

       unsigned int XkbSARedirectVModsMask (XkbRedirectKeyAction act);

ARGUMENTS

       - act  action from which to extract vmods

DESCRIPTION

       Actions	associated with the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure generate KeyPress and KeyRelease events containing a keycode different from the
       key that was pressed or released.

       The type field for the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure should always be XkbSA_RedirectKey.  Key presses cause a KeyPress event for  the  key
       specified  by the new_key field instead of the actual key. The state reported in this event reports the current effective modifiers changed
       as follows: any real modifiers selected by the mods_mask field are set to corresponding values from the	mods  field.  Any  real  modifiers
       bound  to the virtual modifiers specified by the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields are either set or cleared, depending on the correspond-
       ing values in the vmods0 and vmods1 fields. If the real and virtual modifier definitions specify conflicting values for a single  modifier,
       the real modifier definition has priority.

       Key  releases  cause a KeyRelease event for the key specified by the new_key field instead of the actual key. The state for this event con-
       sists of the effective keyboard modifiers at the time of the release, changed as described previously.

       The XkbSA_RedirectKey action normally redirects to another key on the same device as the key that caused the event, unless that device does
       not  belong  to	the  input extension KeyClass, in which case this action causes an event on the core keyboard device. (The input extension
       categorizes devices by breaking them into classes. Keyboards, and other input devices with keys, are classified as KeyClass devices by  the
       input extension.)

       The vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields actually represent one vmods_mask value. Xkb provides macros to convert between the two formats.

       XkbSARedirectVModsMask returns the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields of act converted to an unsigned int.
