.TH XkbVirtualModsToReal __libmansuffix__ __xorgversion__ "XKB FUNCTIONS"
.SH NAME
XkbVirtualModsToReal \- Determines the mapping of virtual modifiers to core X
protocol modifiers
.SH SYNOPSIS
.HP
.B Bool XkbVirtualModsToReal
.BI "(\^XkbDescPtr " "xkb" "\^,"
.BI "unsigned int " "virtual_mask" "\^,"
.BI "unsigned int *" "mask_rtrn" "\^);"
.if n .ti +5n
.if t .ti +.5i
.SH ARGUMENTS
.TP
.I \- xkb
keyboard description for input device
.TP
.I \- virtual_mask
virtual modifier mask to translate
.TP
.I \- mask_rtrn
backfilled with real modifiers
.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Xkb maintains a
.I virtual modifier mapping,
which lists the virtual modifiers associated with, or bound to, each key. The
real modifiers bound to a virtual modifier always include all of the modifiers
bound to any of the keys that specify that virtual modifier in their virtual
modifier mapping. The
.I server.vmodmap
array indicates which virtual modifiers are bound to each key; each entry is a
bitmask for the virtual modifier bits. The
.I server.vmodmap
array is indexed by keycode.
The
.I vmodmap
and
.I vmods
members of the server map are the "master" virtual modifier definitions. Xkb
automatically propagates any changes to these fields to all other fields that
use virtual modifier mappings.
For example, if Mod3 is bound to the Num_Lock key by the core protocol modifier
mapping, and the NumLock virtual modifier is bound to they Num_Lock key by the
virtual modifier mapping, Mod3 is added to the set of modifiers associated with
NumLock.
The virtual modifier mapping is normally updated whenever actions are
automatically applied to symbols and few applications should need to change the
virtual modifier mapping explicitly.
Use
.I XkbGetMap
to get the virtual modifiers from the server or use
.I XkbGetVirtualMods
to update a local copy of the virtual modifiers bindings from the server. To set
the binding of a virtual modifier to a real modifier, use
.I XkbGetVirtualMods
If the keyboard description defined by
.I xkb
includes bindings for virtual modifiers,
.I XkbVirtualModsToReal
uses those bindings to determine the set of real modifiers that correspond to
the set of virtual modifiers specified in
.I virtual_mask.
The
.I virtual_mask
parameter is a mask specifying the virtual modifiers to translate; the i-th bit
(0 relative) of the mask represents the i-th virtual modifier. If
.I mask_rtrn
is non-NULL,
.I XkbVirtualModsToReal
backfills it with the resulting real modifier mask. If the keyboard description
in
.I xkb
does not include virtual modifier bindings,
.I XkbVirtualModsToReal
returns False; otherwise, it returns True.
.SH "RETURN VALUES"
.TP 15
True
The
.I XkbVirtualModsToReal
function returns True if the keyboard description
in
.I xkb
does include virtual modifier bindings.
.TP 15
False
The
.I XkbVirtualModsToReal
function returns False if the keyboard description
in
.I xkb
does not include virtual modifier bindings.
.SH "SEE ALSO"
.BR XkbGetMap (__libmansuffix__),
.BR XkbGetVirtualMods (__libmansuffix__)
.SH NOTES
.LP
It is possible for a local (client-side) keyboard description (the
.I xkb
parameter) to not contain any virtual modifier information (simply because the
client has not requested it) while the server's corresponding definition may
contain virtual modifier information.
