XmTranslateKey(3X)
OSF/Motif
NAME
  XmTranslateKey - The default keycode-to-keysym translator

SYNOPSIS
  #include <Xm/Xm.h>

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