NAME

       XkbTranslateKeyCode -  Translate a keycode to a key symbol and modifiers

SYNOPSIS

       Bool XkbTranslateKeyCode (XkbDescPtr xkb, KeyCode key, unsigned int mods, unsigned int *mods_rtrn, KeySym
              *keysym_rtrn);

ARGUMENTS

       - xkb  keyboard description to use for translation

       - key  keycode to translate

       - mods modifiers to apply when translating key

       - mods_rtrn
              backfilled with consumed modifiers

       - keysym_rtrn
              keysym resulting from translation

DESCRIPTION

       mods_rtrn  is  backfilled  with  the  modifiers  consumed  by the translation process.  mods is a bitwise
       inclusive OR of the legal modifier masks: ShiftMask, LockMask, ControlMask, Mod1Mask, Mod2Mask, Mod3Mask,
       Mod4Mask,  Mod5Mask.The  AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock  library  control  (see  below),  if  enabled,  causes
       XkbTranslateKeyCode  to  consume  shift  and  lock.   XkbTranslateKeyCode returns True if the translation
       resulted in a keysym, and False if it resulted in NoSymbol.

       The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control, if enabled, forces XLookupString to consume  the  Shift  and  Lock
       modifiers  when  processing  all  keys,  even  if  the definition for the key type does not specify these
       modifiers. The AlwaysConsumeShiftAndLock control is unset by default.
