XLookupKeysym(3) XLIB FUNCTIONS XLookupKeysym(3)
NAME
XLookupKeysym, XRefreshKeyboardMapping, XLookupString, XRebindKeysym - handle keyboard
input events in Latin-1
SYNTAX
KeySym XLookupKeysym(XKeyEvent *key_event, int index);
int XRefreshKeyboardMapping(XMappingEvent *event_map);
int XLookupString(XKeyEvent *event_struct, char *buffer_return, int bytes_buffer, KeySym
*keysym_return, XComposeStatus *status_in_out);
int XRebindKeysym(Display *display, KeySym keysym, KeySym list[], int mod_count, unsigned
char *string, int num_bytes);
ARGUMENTS
buffer_return
Returns the translated characters.
bytes_buffer
Specifies the length of the buffer. No more than bytes_buffer of translation
are returned.
num_bytes Specifies the number of bytes in the string argument.
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
event_map Specifies the mapping event that is to be used.
event_struct
Specifies the key event structure to be used. You can pass XKeyPressedEvent or
XKeyReleasedEvent.
index Specifies the index into the KeySyms list for the event's KeyCode.
key_event Specifies the KeyPress or KeyRelease event.
keysym Specifies the KeySym that is to be .
keysym_return
Returns the KeySym computed from the event if this argument is not NULL.
list Specifies the KeySyms to be used as modifiers.
mod_count Specifies the number of modifiers in the modifier list.
status_in_out
Specifies or returns the XComposeStatus structure or NULL.
string Specifies the string that is copied and will be returned by XLookupString.
DESCRIPTION
The XLookupKeysym function uses a given keyboard event and the index you specified to
return the KeySym from the list that corresponds to the KeyCode member in the XKey-
PressedEvent or XKeyReleasedEvent structure. If no KeySym is defined for the KeyCode of
the event, XLookupKeysym returns NoSymbol.
The XRefreshKeyboardMapping function refreshes the stored modifier and keymap information.
You usually call this function when a MappingNotify event with a request member of Map-
pingKeyboard or MappingModifier occurs. The result is to update Xlib's knowledge of the
keyboard.
The XLookupString function translates a key event to a KeySym and a string. The KeySym is
obtained by using the standard interpretation of the Shift, Lock, group, and numlock modi-
fiers as defined in the X Protocol specification. If the KeySym has been rebound (see
XRebindKeysym), the bound string will be stored in the buffer. Otherwise, the KeySym is
mapped, if possible, to an ISO Latin-1 character or (if the Control modifier is on) to an
ASCII control character, and that character is stored in the buffer. XLookupString
returns the number of characters that are stored in the buffer.
If present (non-NULL), the XComposeStatus structure records the state, which is private to
Xlib, that needs preservation across calls to XLookupString to implement compose process-
ing. The creation of XComposeStatus structures is implementation-dependent; a portable
program must pass NULL for this argument.
The XRebindKeysym function can be used to rebind the meaning of a KeySym for the client.
It does not redefine any key in the X server but merely provides an easy way for long
strings to be attached to keys. XLookupString returns this string when the appropriate
set of modifier keys are pressed and when the KeySym would have been used for the transla-
tion. No text conversions are performed; the client is responsible for supplying appro-
priately encoded strings. Note that you can rebind a KeySym that may not exist.
