NAME

       XkbSetIgnoreLockMods  -  Sets  the  modifiers  that,  if locked, are not to be reported in
       matching events to passive grabs

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbSetIgnoreLockMods  (Display  *display,  unsigned  int  device_spec,  unsigned  int
              affect_real,  unsigned  int  real_values, unsigned int affect_virtual, unsigned int
              virtual_values);

ARGUMENTS

       - display
              connection to the X server

       - device_spec
              device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - affect_real
              mask of real modifiers affected by this call

       - real_values
              values for affected real modifiers (1=>set, 0=>unset)

       - affect_virtual
              mask of virtual modifiers affected by this call

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

DESCRIPTION

       The core protocol does  not  provide  a  way  to  exclude  specific  modifiers  from  grab
       calculations,  with  the  result  that locking modifiers sometimes have unanticipated side
       effects.

       The  IgnoreLockMods  control  specifies  modifiers  that  should  be  excluded  from  grab
       calculations. These modifiers are also not reported in any core events except KeyPress and
       KeyRelease events that do not activate a passive grab and that do not occur while  a  grab
       is active.

       Manipulate  the  IgnoreLockMods  control  via  the ignore_lock field in the XkbControlsRec
       structure, then use XkbSetControls and XkbGetControls to query and  change  this  control.
       Alternatively, use XkbSetIgnoreLockMods.

       XkbSetIgnoreLockMods  sends  a request to the server to change the server's IgnoreLockMods
       control.  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 IgnoreLockMods control.
       Modifiers selected  by  both  affect_real  and  real_values  are  added  to  the  server's
       IgnoreLockMods  control;  those selected by affect_real but not by real_values are removed
       from the server's IgnoreLockMods control. 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  IgnoreLockMods  control.  Modifiers  selected   by   both   affect_virtual   and
       virtual_values  are  added  to  the  server's  IgnoreLockMods  control;  those selected by
       affect_virtual but not by virtual_values are  removed  from  the  server's  IgnoreLockMods
       control. See below for a discussion of virtual modifier masks to use in affect_virtual and
       virtual_values. XkbSetIgnoreLockMods 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.

       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.
