XGetModifierMapping()XGetModifierMapping()NameXGetModifierMapping – obtain the mapping of modifier keys (Shift, Con‐
trol, etc.).
Synopsis
XModifierKeymap *XGetModifierMapping(display)
Display *display;
Arguments
display Specifies a connection to an X server; returned from
XOpenDisplay().
Returns
The current modifier mapping.
DescriptionXGetModifierMapping() returns the keycodes of the keys being used as
modifiers.
There are eight modifiers, represented by the symbols ShiftMapIndex,
LockMapIndex, ControlMapIndex, Mod1MapIndex, Mod2MapIndex, Mod3Map‐
Index, Mod4MapIndex, and Mod5MapIndex. The modifiermap member of the
XModifierKeymap() structure contains eight sets of keycodes, each set
containing max_keypermod keycodes. Zero keycodes are not meaningful.
If an entire modifiermap is filled with zero's, the corresponding modi‐
fier is disabled. No keycode will appear twice anywhere in the map.
Structures
typedef struct {
int max_keypermod; /* server's max number of keys per modifier */
KeyCode *modifiermap; /* an 8 by max_keypermod array of
* keycodes to be used as modifiers */
} XModifierKeymap;
/* modifier names. Used to build a SetModifierMapping request or
to read a GetModifierMapping request. */
