XKB FUNCTIONS                            XkbSARedirectVMods(3x11)



NAME
     XkbSARedirectVMods - Returns the vmods0 and vmods1 fields of
     act converted to an unsigned int

SYNOPSIS
     cc [ flag... ] file... -lX11 [ library... ]

     unsigned int XkbSARedirectVMods (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 corresponding values in the vmods0 and vmods1 fields.
     If the real and virtual modifier  definitions  specify  con-
     flicting  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 consists 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  dev-
     ices  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 vmods0 and vmods1  fields
     of act converted to an unsigned int.
