XkbTranslateKeyCode(3)						   XKB FUNCTIONS					    XkbTranslateKeyCode(3)

NAME
       XkbTranslateKeyCode -  Translate a keycode to a key symbol and modifiers

SYNOPSIS
       Bool XkbTranslateKeyCode (XkbDescPtr xkb, KeyCode key, unsigned int mods, unsigned int *mods_rtrn, KeySym *keysym_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS
       - xkb  keyboard description to use for translation

       - key  keycode to translate

       - mods modifiers to apply when translating key

       - mods_rtrn
	      backfilled with unconsumed modifiers

       - keysym_rtrn
	      keysym resulting from translation

DESCRIPTION
       mods_rtrn  is  backfilled  with	the  modifiers	consumed by the translation process.  mods is a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal modifier
       masks: ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask, Mod4Mask,  Mod5Mask.The  AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock  library  control
       (see  below),  if  enabled,  causes  XkbTranslateKeyCode  to  consume  shift and lock.  XkbTranslateKeyCode returns True if the translation
       resulted in a keysym, and False if it resulted in NoSymbol.

       The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control, if enabled, forces XLookupString to consume the Shift and Lock modifiers when processing	all  keys,
       even if the definition for the key type does not specify these modifiers. The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control is unset by default.
