NAME

XmTranslateKey − The default keycode-to-keysym translator

SYNOPSIS

#include <Xm/Xm.h>
void XmTranslateKey (display, keycode, modifiers, modifiers_return, keysym_return)

Display∗display;
KeyCodekeycode;
Modifiersmodifiers;
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
