.SH DESCRIPTION
.\" $Header: XLKeysym.d,v 1.3 88/04/07 15:54:30 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XLookupKeysym
function uses a given keyboard event and the index you specified to return
the KeySym from the list that corresponds to the KeyCode member in the
.ZN XKeyPressedEvent
or
.ZN XKeyReleasedEvent
structure.
If no KeySym is defined for the KeyCode of the event,
.ZN XLookupKeysym
returns
.ZN NoSymbol .
.LP
.\" $Header: XRKMap.d,v 1.2 88/06/11 07:52:44 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XRefreshKeyboardMapping
function refreshes the stored modifier and keymap information.
You usually call this function when a
.ZN MappingNotify
event with a request member of
.ZN MappingKeyboard
or
.ZN MappingModifier
occurs.
The result is to update Xlib's knowledge of the keyboard.
.LP
.\" $Header: XLookStr.d,v 1.4 88/08/20 10:08:02 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XLookupString
function translates a key event to a KeySym and a string.
The KeySym is obtained by using the standard interpretation of the Shift,
Lock, and group modifiers as defined in the X Protocol specification.
If the KeySym has been rebound (see
.ZN XRebindKeysym ),
the bound string will be stored in the buffer.
Otherwise, the KeySym is mapped, if possible, to an ISO Latin-1 character
or (if the Control modifier is on) to an ASCII control character,
and that character is stored in the buffer.
.ZN XLookupString
returns the number of characters that are stored in the buffer.
.LP
If present (non-NULL),
the
.ZN XComposeStatus
structure records the state,
which is private to Xlib,
that needs preservation across calls to
.ZN XLookupString
to implement compose processing.
The creation of
.ZN XComposeStatus
structures is implementation dependent;
a portable program must pass NULL for this argument.
.LP
.\" $Header: XRKeySym.d,v 1.3 88/06/11 07:52:44 mento Exp $
The
.ZN XRebindKeysym
function can be used to rebind the meaning of a KeySym for the client.
It does not redefine any key in the X server but merely
provides an easy way for long strings to be attached to keys.
.ZN XLookupString
returns this string when the appropriate set of
modifier keys are pressed and when the KeySym would have been used for
the translation.
No text conversions are performed;
the client is responsible for supplying appropriately encoded strings.
Note that you can rebind a KeySym that may not exist.
