XtSetKeyTranslator(3X11)COMMAND REFERENCEXtSetKeyTranslator(3X11)



NAME
     XtSetKeyTranslator, XtTranslateKeycode,
     XtRegisterCaseConverter, XtConvertCase - convert KeySym to
     KeyCodes

SYNOPSIS
     void XtSetKeyTranslator(display, proc)
         Display *display;
         XtKeyProc proc;

     void XtTranslateKeycode(display, keycode, modifiers,
     modifiers_return, keysym_return)
         Display *display;
         KeyCode keycode;
         Modifiers modifiers;
         Modifiers *modifiers_return;
         KeySym *keysym_return;

     void XtRegisterCaseConverter(display, proc, start, stop)
         Display *display;
         XtCaseProc proc;
         KeySym start;
         KeySym stop;

     void XtConvertCase(display, keysym, lower_return,
     upper_return)
         Display *display;
         KeySym keysym;
         KeySym *lower_return;
         KeySym *upper_return;

     This is user-contributed.

ARGUMENTS
     display   Specifies the display.

     keycode   Specifies the KeyCode to translate.

     keysym    Specifies the KeySym to convert.

     keysym_return
               Returns the resulting KeySym.

     lower_return
               Returns the lowercase equivalent of the KeySym.

     upper_return
               Returns the uppercase equivalent of the KeySym.

     modifiers Specifies the modifiers to the KeyCode.

               Returns a mask that indicates the modifiers
               actually used to generate the KeySym.

     proc      Specifies the procedure that is to perform key
               translations or conversions.

     start     Specifies the first KeySym for which this
               converter is valid.

     stop      Specifies the last KeySym for which this converter
               is valid.

DESCRIPTION
     The XtSetKeyTranslator function sets the specified procedure
     as the current key translator.  The default translator is
     XtTranslateKey, an XtKeyProc that uses Shift and Lock
     modifiers with the interpretations defined by the core
     protocol.  It is provided so that new translators can call
     it to get default KeyCode-to-KeySym translations and so that
     the default translator can be reinstalled.

     The XtTranslateKeycode function passes the specified
     arguments directly to the currently registered KeyCode to
     KeySym translator.

     The XtRegisterCaseConverter registers the specified case
     converter.  The start and stop arguments provide the
     inclusive range of KeySyms for which this converter is to be
     called.  The new converter overrides any previous converters
     for KeySyms in that range.  No interface exists to remove
     converters; you need to register an identity converter.
     When a new converter is registered, the Intrinsics
     refreshes the keyboard state if necessary.  The default
     converter understands case conversion for all KeySyms
     defined in the core protocol.

     The XtConvertCase function calls the appropriate converter
     and returns the results.  A user-supplied XtKeyProc may need
     to use this function.
