XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes(3)
NAME
XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes - Set the definitions of the canonical key
types in a client map to their default values
SYNOPSIS
Status XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes (XkbDescPtr xkb, unsigned int which, int
keypadVMod);
ARGUMENTS
xkb keyboard description containing client map to initialize
which mask of types to initialize
keypadVMod
index of NumLock virtual modifier
DESCRIPTION
XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes initializes the first XkbNumRequiredTypes key
types of the keyboard specified by the xkb parameter to their default
values. The which parameter specifies what canonical key types to ini-
tialize and is a bitwise inclusive OR of the following masks: Xk-
bOneLevelMask, XkbTwoLevelMask, XkbAlphabeticMask, and XkbKeypadMask.
Only those canonical types specified by the which mask are initialized.
If XkbKeypadMask is set in the which parameter, XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes
looks up the NumLock named virtual modifier to determine which virtual
modifier to use when initializing the KEYPAD key type. If the NumLock
virtual modifier does not exist, XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes creates it.
XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes normally returns Success. It returns BadAccess
if the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized, and BadAccess if
the xkb parameter is not valid.
RETURN VALUES
Success The XkbInitCanonicalKeyTypes function return Success if
the Xkb extension has been properly initialized and the
xkb parameter is valid.
DIAGNOSTICS
BadAccess The Xkb extension has not been properly initialized
