XkbSARedirectSetVMods(3)	  XKB FUNCTIONS 	XkbSARedirectSetVMods(3)

NAME
     XkbSARedirectSetVMods - Sets the vmods0 and vmods1 of act from v

SYNOPSIS
     void XkbSARedirectSetVMods (XkbRedirectKeyAction act, unsigned int v);

ARGUMENTS
     act    action in which to set vmods

     v	    new value for virtual modifiers

DESCRIPTION
     Actions  associated  with	the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure generate Key-
     Press and KeyRelease events containing a keycode  different  from	the  key
     that was pressed or released.

     The  type	field  for  the  XkbRedirectKeyAction structure should always be
     XkbSA_RedirectKey.  Key presses cause a KeyPress event for the  key  speci-
     fied  by the new_key field instead of the actual key. The state reported in
     this event reports the current effective modifiers changed as follows:  any
     real  modifiers  selected	by  the mods_mask field are set to corresponding
     values from the mods field. Any real modifiers bound to the  virtual  modi-
     fiers specified by the vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields are either set or
     cleared,  depending  on  the  corresponding values in the vmods0 and vmods1
     fields. If the real and virtual modifier  definitions  specify  conflicting
     values for a single modifier, the real modifier definition has priority.

     Key  releases cause a KeyRelease event for the key specified by the new_key
     field instead of the actual key. The state for this event consists  of  the
     effective	keyboard  modifiers  at  the time of the release, changed as de-
     scribed previously.

     The XkbSA_RedirectKey action normally redirects to another key on the  same
     device as the key that caused the event, unless that device does not belong
     to  the input extension KeyClass, in which case this action causes an event
     on the core keyboard device. (The input extension	categorizes  devices  by
     breaking  them  into classes. Keyboards, and other input devices with keys,
     are classified as KeyClass devices by the input extension.)

     The vmods_mask0 and vmods_mask1 fields actually  represent  one  vmods_mask
     value. Xkb provides macros to convert between the two formats.

     XkbSARedirectSetVModsMask sets the vmods0 and vmods1 of act from v.
