XKB FUNCTIONS                           XkbTranslateKeyCode(3x11)



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

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

     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 Always-
     ConsumeShiftAndLock 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 AlwaysConsumeShif-
     tAndLock control is unset by default.
