XtTranslateKeycode() XtTranslateKeycode() Name XtTranslateKeycode - invoke the currently registered keycode-to-keysym translator. Synopsis void XtTranslateKeycode(display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return) Display *display; KeyCode keycode; Modifiers modifiers; Modifiers *modifiers_return; KeySym *keysym_return; Inputs display Specifies the display that the keycode is from. keycode Specifies the keycode to translate. modifiers Specifies the modifiers to be applied to the keycode. Outputs modifiers_return Returns a mask that indicates the modifiers actually used to generate the keysym. keysym_return Returns the resulting keysym. Description XtTranslateKeycode() converts a keycode plus modifiers into a keysym. It invokes the currently registered keycode-to-keysym translator (XtTranslateKey() by default) and passes its arguments directly to that converter. See XtTranslateKey() for a description of the default translator. See XtKeyProc(2) for more details on the operation of a keycode-to- keysym translator procedure. Usage The Translation Manager invokes the currently registered key translator procedure to convert incoming keycodes to keysyms. Only clients that need to work with non-standard keysyms should need to register alternate key translator procedures. The default key translator, XtTranslateKey(), can also be invoked directly. A new translator can be registered by calling XtSetKeyTransla- tor(). Structures The KeyCode and KeySym types are defined as follows: typedef unsigned char KeyCode; typedef XID KeySym; The Modifiers type and its legal values are defined as follows: typedef unsigned int Modifiers; #define ShiftMask (1<<0) #define LockMask (1<<1) #define ControlMask (1<<2) #define Mod1Mask (1<<3) #define Mod2Mask (1<<4) #define Mod3Mask (1<<5) #define Mod4Mask (1<<6) #define Mod5Mask (1<<7) See Also XtRegisterCaseConverter(1), XtSetKeyTranslator(1), XtTranslateKey(1), XtKeyProc(2).

XtTranslateKey() XtTranslateKey() Name XtTranslateKey - the default keycode-to-keysym translator. Synopsis void XtTranslateKey(display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return) Display *display; KeyCode keycode; Modifiers modifiers; Modifiers *modifiers_return; KeySym *keysym_return; Inputs display Specifies the display that the keycode is from. keycode Specifies the keycode to translate. modifiers Specifies the modifiers to be applied to the keycode. Outputs modifiers_return Returns the modifiers examined by the key translator. keysym_return Returns the resulting keysym. Description XtTranslateKey() is the default XtKeyProc used by the Translation Manager. It takes a keycode and returns the corresponding keysym, recog- nizing Shift, Lock, and group modifiers. It handles all the keysyms defined by the X Protocol. XtTranslateKey() is provided for two main reasons: so that new translators with expanded functionality can call it to get default keycode- to-keysym translations in addition to whatever they add, and so that the default translator can be reinstalled. See XtKeyProc(2) for more information on the behavior of this and all key translator procedures. Usage The Translation Manager invokes the currently registered key translator procedure to convert incoming keycodes to keysyms. Only clients that need to work with non-standard keysyms should need to register alternate key translator procedures. XtTranslateKey() can be invoked directly, or the currently registered key translator can be invoked by calling XtTranslateKeycode(). A new translator can be registered by calling XtSetKeyTranslator(). There is no way to remove a translator; to reinstall the default behavior, call XtSetKeyTranslator() with XtTranslateKey() as the proc argument.
