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
       KeyPress	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
       specified by the	new_key	field instead of the actual key. The state re-
       ported 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  modifiers	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 defi-
       nitions specify conflicting values for a	single modifier, the real mod-
       ifier 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 con-
       sists of	the effective keyboard modifiers at the	time of	 the  release,
       changed as described 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 cate-
       gorizes devices by breaking them	into classes. Keyboards, and other in-
       put 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  for-
       mats.

       XkbSARedirectSetVModsMask sets the vmods0 and vmods1 of act from	v.
