XkbKeySymEntry(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbKeySymEntry(3)
NAME
XkbKeySymEntry - Returns the keysym corresponding to shift level shift
and group grp from the two-dimensional array of keysyms for the key cor-
responding to keycode
SYNOPSIS
KeySym XkbKeySymEntry (XkbDescPtr xkb, KeyCode keycode, int shift, int
grp);
ARGUMENTS
xkb Xkb description of interest
keycode
keycode of interest
shift shift level of interest
grp group of interest
DESCRIPTION
The key width and number of groups associated with a key are used to
form a small two-dimensional array of KeySyms for a key. This array may
be different sizes for different keys. The array for a single key is
stored as a linear list, in row-major order. The arrays for all of the
keys are stored in the syms field of the client map. There is one row
for each group associated with a key and one column for each level. The
index corresponding to a given group and shift level is computed as:
idx = group_index * key_width + shift_level
The offset field of the key_sym_map entry for a key is used to access
the beginning of the array.
XkbKeySymEntry returns the keysym corresponding to shift level shift and
group grp from the two-dimensional array of keysyms for the key corre-
sponding to keycode.
