              unsigned int values);

ARGUMENTS

       display
              connection to the X server

       device_spec
              device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       affect mask of real modifiers whose lock state is to change

       values 1 => lock, 0 => unlock; only for modifiers selected by affect

DESCRIPTION

       XkbLatchModifiers sends a request to the server to latch the real  modifiers  selected  by
       both  affect  and  values  and  to unlatch the real modifiers selected by affect , but not
       selected by values.

       XkbLatchModifiers does not wait for a reply from  the  server.  It  returns  True  if  the
       request was sent, and False otherwise.

       The functions in this section that change the use of modifiers use a mask in the parameter
       affect. It is a bitwise inclusive OR of the legal modifier masks:
