NAME
XmTranslateKey-The default keycode-to-keysym translator
SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmTranslateKey (display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return)
Display *display;
KeyCode keycode;
Modifiers modifiers;
Modifiers *modifiers_return;
KeySym *keysym_return;
DESCRIPTION
XmTranslateKey is the default XtKeyProc translation
procedure for Motif applications. The function takes a
keycode and modifiers and returns the corresponding keysym.
XmTranslateKey serves two main purposes: new translators
with expanded functionality can call it to get the default
Motif keycode-to-keysym translation in addition to whatever
they add, and so that the default translator can be
reinstalled. This function enables keysyms defined by the
Motif virtual bindings to be used when an application
requires its own XtKeyProc to be installed.
display Specifies the display that the keycode is from
keycode Specifies the keycode to translate
modifiers Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the
keycode
modifiers_return
Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually
used to generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers
and any default modifiers applied by the
currently registered translator)
keysym_return
Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
