NAME

XtSetKeyTranslator, XtTranslateKeycode, XtRegisterCaseConverter, XtConvertCase - convert KeySym to KeyCodes

SYNTAX

void XtSetKeyTranslator(display, proc)
    Display *display;
    XtKeyProc proc;

void XtTranslateKeycode(display, keycode, modifiers,
modifiers_return, keysym_return)
    Display *display;
    KeyCode keycode;
    Modifiers modifiers;
    Modifiers *modifiers_return;
    KeySym *keysym_return;

void XtRegisterCaseConverter(display, proc, start, stop)
    Display *display;
    XtCaseProc proc;
    KeySym start;
    KeySym stop;

void XtConvertCase(display, keysym, lower_return,
upper_return)
    Display *display;
    KeySym keysym;
    KeySym *lower_return;
    KeySym *upper_return;

ARGUMENTS

display   Specifies the display.

keycode   Specifies the KeyCode to translate.

keysym    Specifies the KeySym to convert.

keysym_return

Returns the resulting KeySym.

lower_return

Returns the lowercase equivalent of the KeySym.

upper_return

Returns the uppercase equivalent of the KeySym.

modifiers Specifies the modifiers to the KeyCode.

modifiers_return

Returns a mask that indicates the modifiers actually used to generate the KeySym.

     proc      Specifies the procedure that is to perform key

translations or conversions.

start     Specifies the first KeySym for which this con-

verter is valid.

stop Specifies the last KeySym for which this converter is valid.

DESCRIPTION

The XtSetKeyTranslator function sets the specified procedure
as the current key translator.  The default translator is
XtTranslateKey, an XtKeyProc that uses Shift and Lock modif-
iers with the interpretations defined by the core protocol.
It is provided so that new translators can call it to get
default KeyCode-to-KeySym translations and so that the
default translator can be reinstalled.

The XtTranslateKeycode function passes the specified argu-
ments directly to the currently registered KeyCode to KeySym
translator.

The XtRegisterCaseConverter registers the specified case
converter.  The start and stop arguments provide the
inclusive range of KeySyms for which this converter is to be
called.  The new converter overrides any previous converters
for KeySyms in that range.  No interface exists to remove
converters; you need to register an identity converter.
When a new converter is registered, the Intrinsics
refreshes the keyboard state if necessary.  The default con-
verter understands case conversion for all KeySyms defined
in the core protocol.

The XtConvertCase function calls the appropriate converter
and returns the results.  A user-supplied XtKeyProc may need
to use this function.
