       - affect_real

       - virtual_values
              values for affected virtual modifiers (1=>set, 0=>unset)

DESCRIPTION

       The core protocol does not provide any means to prevent a modifier from being reported  in
       events  sent to clients; Xkb, however makes this possible via the InternalMods control. It
       specifies modifiers that should be consumed by the server and  not  reported  to  clients.
       When  a  key is pressed and a modifier that has its bit set in the InternalMods control is
       reported to the server, the server uses the modifier when determining the actions to apply
       for the key. The server then clears the bit, so it is not actually reported to the client.
       In addition, modifiers specified in the InternalMods control are  not  used  to  determine
       grabs and are not used to calculate core protocol compatibility state.

       Manipulate  the  InternalMods  control  via  the  internal  field  in  the  XkbControlsRec
       structure,    using    XkbSetControls    and    XkbGetControls.     Alternatively,     use
       XkbSetServerInternalMods.

       XkbSetServerInternalMods  sends  a  request to the server to change the internal modifiers
       consumed by the server.  affect_real and real_values  are  masks  of  real  modifier  bits
       indicating  which  real  modifiers  are to be added and removed from the server's internal
       modifiers control. Modifiers selected by both affect_real and real_values are added to the
       server's  internal modifiers control; those selected by affect_real but not by real_values
       are removed from the server's internal modifiers mask. Valid values  for  affect_real  and
       real_values  consist  of  any  combination  of  the  eight  core modifier bits: ShiftMask,
       LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask - Mod5Mask.  affect_virtual and virtual_values  are  masks
       of  virtual  modifier  bits indicating which virtual modifiers are to be added and removed
       from the server's internal modifiers control. Modifiers selected  by  both  affect_virtual
       and virtual_values are added to the server's internal modifiers control; those selected by
       affect_virtual but not by virtual_values are removed from the server's internal  modifiers
       control. See below for a discussion of virtual modifier masks to use in affect_virtual and
       virtual_values. XkbSetServerInternalMods does not wait for a reply  from  the  server.  It
       returns True if the request was sent and False otherwise.

       Virtual  modifiers  are named by converting their string name to an X Atom and storing the
       Atom in the names.vmods array in an XkbDescRec structure. The position of a name  Atom  in
       the  names.vmods array defines the bit position used to represent the virtual modifier and
       also the index used when accessing virtual modifier information in arrays: the name in the
       i-th  (0  relative)  entry of names.vmods is the i-th virtual modifier, represented by the
       mask  (1<<i).  Throughout  Xkb,  various  functions  have  a  parameter  that  is  a  mask
       representing virtual modifier choices. In each case, the i-th bit (0 relative) of the mask
       represents the i-th virtual modifier.

       To set the name of a virtual modifier, use XkbSetNames,  using  XkbVirtualModNamesMask  in
       which and the name in the xkb argument; to retrieve indicator names, use XkbGetNames.

STRUCTURES

       The  complete  description  of  an  Xkb  keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec. The component
       structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb components outlined in Figure 1.1.

       typedef struct {
           struct _XDisplay * display;      /∗ connection to X server */
           unsigned short     flags;        /∗ private to Xkb, do not modify */
           unsigned short     device_spec;  /∗ device of interest */
           KeyCode            min_key_code; /∗ minimum keycode for device */
           KeyCode            max_key_code; /∗ maximum keycode for device */
           XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;        /∗ controls */
           XkbServerMapPtr    server;       /∗ server keymap */
           XkbClientMapPtr    map;          /∗ client keymap */
           XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /∗ indicator map */
           XkbNamesPtr        names;        /∗ names for all components */
           XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;       /∗ compatibility map */
           XkbGeometryPtr     geom;         /∗ physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The display field points to an X display structure. The flags  field  is  private  to  the
       library:  modifying flags may yield unpredictable results. The device_spec field specifies
       the device identifier of the keyboard input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies
       the  core  keyboard device. The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the least and
       greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.

       Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is used in  function  calls  to
       indicate that the structure should be manipulated in some manner, such as allocating it or
       freeing it. These masks and their relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are  shown
       in Table 1.
