NAME
XmTranslateKey -- The default keycode-to-keysym translator
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmTranslateKey(
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: to enable new translators with expanded functionality to get the default Motif keycode-to-keysym
translation in addition to whatever they add, and to reinstall the default translator. This function enables keysyms defined by the Motif
virtual bindings to be used when an application requires its own XtKeyProc to be installed.
display Specifies the display that the keycode is from
keycode Specifies the keycode to translate
modifiers Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the keycode
modifiers_return
Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually used to generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers and any default modifiers applied
by the currently registered translator)
keysym_return
Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
