NAME
XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber - Returns the out-of-range group number, represented as a group index, from the
group_info field of an XkbSymMapRec structure
SYNOPSIS
unsigned char XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber (unsigned char grp_inf);
ARGUMENTS
grp_inf
Xkb description of interest
DESCRIPTION
XkbOutOfRangeGroupNumber returns the out-of-range group number, represented as a group index, from the
group_info field of an XkbSymMapRec structure.
The group_info field of an XkbSymMapRec is an encoded value containing the number of groups of symbols
bound to the key as well as the specification of the treatment of out-of-range groups. It is legal for a
key to have zero groups, in which case it also has zero symbols and all events from that key yield
NoSymbol. To obtain the number of groups of symbols bound to the key, use XkbKeyNumGroups. To change
the number of groups bound to a key, use XkbChangeTypesOfKey. To obtain a mask that determines the
treatment of out-of-range groups, use XkbKeyGroupInfo and XkbOutOfRangeGroupInfo.
The keyboard controls contain a groups_wrap field specifying the handling of illegal groups on a global
basis. That is, when the user performs an action causing the effective group to go out of the legal
range, the groups_wrap field specifies how to normalize the effective keyboard group to a group that is
legal for the keyboard as a whole, but there is no guarantee that the normalized group will be within the
range of legal groups for any individual key. The per-key group_info field specifies how a key treats a
legal effective group if the key does not have a type specified for the group of concern. For example,
the Enter key usually has just one group defined. If the user performs an action causing the global
keyboard group to change to Group2, the group_info field for the Enter key describes how to handle this
situation.
Out-of-range groups for individual keys are mapped to a legal group using the same options as are used
for the overall keyboard group. The particular type of mapping used is controlled by the bits set in the
group_info flag, as shown in Table 1.
