XmTranslateKey(3X)XmTranslateKey(3X)NAME
XmTranslateKey - The default keycode-to-keysym translator
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmTranslateKey (display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return)
Display *display;
KeyCode keycode;
Modifiers modifiers;
Modifiers *modifiers_return;
KeySym *keysym_return;
DESCRIPTION
XmTranslateKey is the default XtKeyProc translation procedure for Motif applications. The function takes a keycode and modifiers and
returns the corresponding keysym.
XmTranslateKey serves two main purposes: new translators with expanded functionality can call it to get the default Motif keycode-to-keysym
translation in addition to whatever they add, and so that the default translator can be reinstalled. This function enables keysyms defined
by the Motif virtual bindings to be used when an application requires its own XtKeyProc to be installed. Specifies the display that the
keycode is from Specifies the keycode to translate Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the keycode Specifies a mask of the modi-
fier keys actually used to generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers and any default modifiers applied by the currently registered transla-
tor) Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym

ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the display.
keycode Specifies the KeyCode to translate.
keysym Specifies the KeySym to convert.
keysym_return
Returns the resulting KeySym.
lower_return
Returns the lowercase equivalent of the KeySym.
upper_return
Returns the uppercase equivalent of the KeySym.
modifiers Specifies the modifiers to the KeyCode.
modifiers_return
Returns a mask that indicates the modifiers actually used to generate the KeySym.
proc Specifies the procedure that is to perform key translations or conversions.
start Specifies the first KeySym for which this converter is valid.
stop Specifies the last KeySym for which this converter is valid.
DESCRIPTION
The XtSetKeyTranslator function sets the specified procedure as the current key translator. The default translator is XtTranslateKey, an
XtKeyProc that uses Shift and Lock modifiers with the interpretations defined by the core protocol. It is provided so that new translators
can call it to get default KeyCode-to-KeySym translations and so that the default translator can be reinstalled.
The XtTranslateKeycode function passes the specified arguments directly to the currently registered KeyCode to KeySym translator.
The XtRegisterCaseConverter registers the specified case converter. The start and stop arguments provide the inclusive range of KeySyms
for which this converter is to be called. The new converter overrides any previous converters for KeySyms in that range. No interface
exists to remove converters; you need to register an identity converter. When a new converter is registered, the Intrinsics refreshes the
keyboard state if necessary. The default converter understands case conversion for all KeySyms defined in the core protocol.
The XtConvertCase function calls the appropriate converter and returns the results. A user-supplied XtKeyProc may need to use this func-
tion.
