XtSetKeyTranslator(3)                           XT FUNCTIONS                           XtSetKeyTranslator(3)



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

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

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

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

       void XtConvertCase(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 converter 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 modifiers with the inter-pretations interpretations
       pretations 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 arguments 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 convert-ers; converters;
       ers; you need to register an identity converter.  When a new converter is registered, the Intrinsics
       refreshes the keyboard state if necessary.  The default converter 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.
