NAME

       XkbSARedirectVModsMask  -  Returns the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields of act converted to an unsigned
       int

SYNOPSIS

       unsigned int XkbSARedirectVModsMask (XkbRedirectKeyAction act);

ARGUMENTS

       act    action from which to extract vmods

DESCRIPTION

       Actions associated with the  XkbRedirectKeyAction  structure  generate  KeyPress  and  KeyRelease  events
       containing a keycode different from the key that was pressed or released.

       The  type  field  for the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure should always be XkbSA_RedirectKey.  Key presses
       cause a KeyPress event for the key specified by the new_key field instead of the actual  key.  The  state
       reported  in  this  event  reports the current effective modifiers changed as follows: any real modifiers
       selected by the mods_mask field are set to corresponding values from the mods field. Any  real  modifiers
       bound  to  the  virtual  modifiers  specified by the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields are either set or
       cleared, depending on the corresponding values in the vmods0 and vmods1 fields. If the real  and  virtual
       modifier  definitions  specify conflicting values for a single modifier, the real modifier definition has
       priority.

       Key releases cause a KeyRelease event for the key specified by the new_key field instead  of  the  actual
       key.  The  state  for this event consists of the effective keyboard modifiers at the time of the release,
       changed as described previously.

       The XkbSA_RedirectKey action normally redirects to another key on the same device as the key that  caused
       the  event, unless that device does not belong to the input extension KeyClass, in which case this action
       causes an event on the core keyboard device. (The input extension categorizes devices  by  breaking  them
       into  classes.  Keyboards,  and  other input devices with keys, are classified as KeyClass devices by the
       input extension.)

       The vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields actually represent one vmods_mask value. Xkb  provides  macros  to
       convert between the two formats.

       XkbSARedirectVModsMask  returns  the  vmods_mask0  and vmods_mask1 fields of act converted to an unsigned
       int.
