XkbSetAutoResetControls(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbSetAutoResetControls(3)
NAME
XkbSetAutoResetControls - Changes the current values of the AutoReset
control attributes
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbSetAutoResetControls (Display *dpy, unsigned int changes, un-
signed int *auto_ctrls, unsigned int *auto_values);
ARGUMENTS
dpy connection to X server
changes
controls for which to change auto-reset values
auto_ctrls
controls from changes that should auto reset
auto_values
1 bit => auto-reset on
DESCRIPTION
XkbSetAutoResetControls changes the auto-reset status and associated
auto-reset values for the controls selected by changes. For any control
selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is set in auto_ctrls, the
control is configured to auto-reset when the client exits. If the corre-
sponding bit in auto_values is on, the control is turned on when the
client exits; if zero, the control is turned off when the client exits.
For any control selected by changes, if the corresponding bit is not set
in auto_ctrls, the control is configured to not reset when the client
exits.
For example:
To leave the auto-reset controls for StickyKeys the way they are:
ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, 0, 0, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are unaffected when the
client exits:
ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned off when the
client exits:
ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask, 0);
To change the auto-reset controls so that StickyKeys are turned on when the
client exits:
ok = XkbSetAutoResetControls(dpy, XkbStickyKeysMask, XkbStickyKeysMask,
XkbStickyKeysMask);
XkbSetAutoResetControls backfills auto_ctrls and auto_values with the
auto-reset controls for this particular client. Note that all of the
bits are valid in the returned values, not just the ones selected in the
changes mask.
