NAME

       XkbTranslateKeyCode -  Translate a keycode to a key symbol and modifiers

SYNOPSIS

       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 consumed 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  AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock  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  AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock  control is unset by
       default.
