97 * Main libxkbcommon API.
101 * @struct xkb_context
102 * Opaque top level library context object.
104 * The context contains various general library data and state, like
105 * logging level and include paths.
107 * Objects are created in a specific context, and multiple contexts may
108 * coexist simultaneously. Objects from different contexts are completely
109 * separated and do not share any memory or state.
115 * Opaque compiled keymap object.
117 * The keymap object holds all of the static keyboard information obtained
118 * from compiling XKB files.
120 * A keymap is immutable after it is created (besides reference counts, etc.);
121 * if you need to change it, you must create a new one.
127 * Opaque keyboard state object.
129 * State objects contain the active state of a keyboard (or keyboards), such
130 * as the currently effective layout and the active modifiers. It acts as a
131 * simple state machine, wherein key presses and releases are the input, and
132 * key symbols (keysyms) are the output.
137 * A number used to represent a physical key on a keyboard.
139 * A standard PC-compatible keyboard might have 102 keys. An appropriate
140 * keymap would assign each of them a keycode, by which the user should
141 * refer to the key throughout the library.
143 * Historically, the X11 protocol, and consequentially the XKB protocol,
144 * assign only 8 bits for keycodes. This limits the number of different
145 * keys that can be used simultaneously in a single keymap to 256
146 * (disregarding other limitations). This library does not share this limit;
147 * keycodes beyond 255 ('extended keycodes') are not treated specially.
148 * Keymaps and applications which are compatible with X11 should not use
151 * The values of specific keycodes are determined by the keymap and the
152 * underlying input system. For example, with an X11-compatible keymap
153 * and Linux evdev scan codes (see linux/input.h), a fixed offset is used:
155 * The keymap defines a canonical name for each key, plus possible aliases.
156 * Historically, the XKB protocol restricts these names to at most 4 (ASCII)
157 * characters, but this library does not share this limit.
160 * xkb_keycode_t keycode_A = KEY_A + 8;
163 * @sa xkb_keycode_is_legal_ext() xkb_keycode_is_legal_x11()
165 typedef uint32_t xkb_keycode_t;
168 * A number used to represent the symbols generated from a key on a keyboard.
170 * A key, represented by a keycode, may generate different symbols according
171 * to keyboard state. For example, on a QWERTY keyboard, pressing the key
172 * labled \<A\> generates the symbol 'a'. If the Shift key is held, it
173 * generates the symbol 'A'. If a different layout is used, say Greek,
174 * it generates the symbol 'α'. And so on.
176 * Each such symbol is represented by a keysym. Note that keysyms are
177 * somewhat more general, in that they can also represent some "function",
178 * such as "Left" or "Right" for the arrow keys. For more information,
180 * https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/xproto/x11protocol.html#keysym_encoding
182 * Specifically named keysyms can be found in the
183 * xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h header file. Their name does not include
184 * the XKB_KEY_ prefix.
186 * Besides those, any Unicode/ISO 10646 character in the range U0100 to
187 * U10FFFF can be represented by a keysym value in the range 0x01000100 to
188 * 0x0110FFFF. The name of Unicode keysyms is "U<codepoint>", e.g. "UA1B2".
190 * The name of other unnamed keysyms is the hexadecimal representation of
191 * their value, e.g. "0xabcd1234".
193 * Keysym names are case-sensitive.
195 typedef uint32_t xkb_keysym_t;
198 * Index of a keyboard layout.
200 * The layout index is a state component which detemines which <em>keyboard
201 * layout</em> is active. These may be different alphabets, different key
204 * Layout indices are consecutive. The first layout has index 0.
206 * Each layout is not required to have a name, and the names are not
207 * guaranteed to be unique (though they are usually provided and unique).
208 * Therefore, it is not safe to use the name as a unique identifier for a
209 * layout. Layout names are case-sensitive.
211 * Layout names are specified in the layout's definition, for example
212 * "English (US)". These are different from the (conventionally) short names
213 * which are used to locate the layout, for example "us" or "us(intl)". These
214 * names are not present in a compiled keymap.
216 * If the user selects layouts from a list generated from the XKB registry
217 * (using libxkbregistry or directly), and this metadata is needed later on, it
218 * is recommended to store it along with the keymap.
220 * Layouts are also called "groups" by XKB.
222 * @sa xkb_keymap_num_layouts() xkb_keymap_num_layouts_for_key()

225 /** A mask of layout indices. */
226 typedef uint32_t xkb_layout_mask_t;
229 * Index of a shift level.
231 * Any key, in any layout, can have several <em>shift levels</em>. Each
232 * shift level can assign different keysyms to the key. The shift level
233 * to use is chosen according to the current keyboard state; for example,
234 * if no keys are pressed, the first level may be used; if the Left Shift
235 * key is pressed, the second; if Num Lock is pressed, the third; and
236 * many such combinations are possible (see xkb_mod_index_t).
238 * Level indices are consecutive. The first level has index 0.
240 typedef uint32_t xkb_level_index_t;
243 * Index of a modifier.
245 * A @e modifier is a state component which changes the way keys are
246 * interpreted. A keymap defines a set of modifiers, such as Alt, Shift,
247 * Num Lock or Meta, and specifies which keys may @e activate which
248 * modifiers (in a many-to-many relationship, i.e. a key can activate
249 * several modifiers, and a modifier may be activated by several keys.
250 * Different keymaps do this differently).
252 * When retrieving the keysyms for a key, the active modifier set is
253 * consulted; this detemines the correct shift level to use within the
254 * currently active layout (see xkb_level_index_t).
256 * Modifier indices are consecutive. The first modifier has index 0.
258 * Each modifier must have a name, and the names are unique. Therefore, it
259 * is safe to use the name as a unique identifier for a modifier. The names
260 * of some common modifiers are provided in the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-names.h
261 * header file. Modifier names are case-sensitive.
263 * @sa xkb_keymap_num_mods()
265 typedef uint32_t xkb_mod_index_t;
266 /** A mask of modifier indices. */
267 typedef uint32_t xkb_mod_mask_t;
270 * Index of a keyboard LED.
272 * LEDs are logical objects which may be @e active or @e inactive. They
273 * typically correspond to the lights on the keyboard. Their state is
274 * determined by the current keyboard state.
276 * LED indices are non-consecutive. The first LED has index 0.
278 * Each LED must have a name, and the names are unique. Therefore,
279 * it is safe to use the name as a unique identifier for a LED. The names
280 * of some common LEDs are provided in the xkbcommon/xkbcommon-names.h
281 * header file. LED names are case-sensitive.
283 * @warning A given keymap may specify an exact index for a given LED.
284 * Therefore, LED indexing is not necessarily sequential, as opposed to
285 * modifiers and layouts. This means that when iterating over the LEDs
286 * in a keymap using e.g. xkb_keymap_num_leds(), some indices might be
287 * invalid. Given such an index, functions like xkb_keymap_led_get_name()
288 * will return NULL, and xkb_state_led_index_is_active() will return -1.

389 * @page keysym-transformations Keysym Transformations
391 * Keysym translation is subject to several "keysym transformations",
392 * as described in the XKB specification. These are:
394 * - Capitalization transformation. If the Caps Lock modifier is
395 * active and was not consumed by the translation process, a single
396 * keysym is transformed to its upper-case form (if applicable).
397 * Similarly, the UTF-8/UTF-32 string produced is capitalized.
399 * This is described in:
400 * https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Lock_Modifier
402 * - Control transformation. If the Control modifier is active and
403 * was not consumed by the translation process, the string produced
404 * is transformed to its matching ASCII control character (if
405 * applicable). Keysyms are not affected.
407 * This is described in:
408 * https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Interpreting_the_Control_Modifier
410 * Each relevant function discusses which transformations it performs.

1717 * @page consumed-modifiers Consumed Modifiers
1720 * Some functions, like xkb_state_key_get_syms(), look at the state of
1721 * the modifiers in the keymap and derive from it the correct shift level
1722 * to use for the key. For example, in a US layout, pressing the key
1723 * labeled \<A\> while the Shift modifier is active, generates the keysym
1724 * 'A'. In this case, the Shift modifier is said to be "consumed".
1725 * However, the Num Lock modifier does not affect this translation at all,
1726 * even if it is active, so it is not consumed by this translation.
1728 * It may be desirable for some application to not reuse consumed modifiers
1729 * for further processing, e.g. for hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts. To
1730 * understand why, consider some requirements from a standard shortcut
1731 * mechanism, and how they are implemented:
1733 * 1. The shortcut's modifiers must match exactly to the state. For
1734 * example, it is possible to bind separate actions to \<Alt\>\<Tab\>
1735 * and to \<Alt\>\<Shift\>\<Tab\>. Further, if only \<Alt\>\<Tab\> is
1736 * bound to an action, pressing \<Alt\>\<Shift\>\<Tab\> should not
1737 * trigger the shortcut.
1738 * Effectively, this means that the modifiers are compared using the
1739 * equality operator (==).
1741 * 2. Only relevant modifiers are considered for the matching. For example,
1742 * Caps Lock and Num Lock should not generally affect the matching, e.g.
1743 * when matching \<Alt\>\<Tab\> against the state, it does not matter
1744 * whether Num Lock is active or not. These relevant, or "significant",
1745 * modifiers usually include Alt, Control, Shift, Super and similar.
1746 * Effectively, this means that non-significant modifiers are masked out,
1747 * before doing the comparison as described above.
1749 * 3. The matching must be independent of the layout/keymap. For example,
1750 * the \<Plus\> (+) symbol is found on the first level on some layouts,
1751 * but requires holding Shift on others. If you simply bind the action
1752 * to the \<Plus\> keysym, it would work for the unshifted kind, but
1753 * not for the others, because the match against Shift would fail. If
1754 * you bind the action to \<Shift\>\<Plus\>, only the shifted kind would
1755 * work. So what is needed is to recognize that Shift is used up in the
1756 * translation of the keysym itself, and therefore should not be included
1758 * Effectively, this means that consumed modifiers (Shift in this example)
1759 * are masked out as well, before doing the comparison.
1761 * In summary, this is approximately how the matching would be performed:
1763 * (keysym == shortcut_keysym) &&
1764 * ((state_mods & ~consumed_mods & significant_mods) == shortcut_mods)
1767 * @c state_mods are the modifiers reported by
1768 * xkb_state_mod_index_is_active() and similar functions.
1769 * @c consumed_mods are the modifiers reported by
1770 * xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed() and similar functions.
1771 * @c significant_mods are decided upon by the application/toolkit/user;
1772 * it is up to them to decide whether these are configurable or hard-coded.
1778 * Consumed modifiers mode.
1780 * There are several possible methods for deciding which modifiers are
1781 * consumed and which are not, each applicable for different systems or
1782 * situations. The mode selects the method to use.
1784 * Keep in mind that in all methods, the keymap may decide to "preserve"
1785 * a modifier, meaning it is not reported as consumed even if it would
1788 enum xkb_consumed_mode {
1790 * This is the mode defined in the XKB specification and used by libX11.
1792 * A modifier is consumed if and only if it *may affect* key translation.
1794 * For example, if `Control+Alt+<Backspace>` produces some assigned keysym,
1795 * then when pressing just `<Backspace>`, `Control` and `Alt` are consumed,
1796 * even though they are not active, since if they *were* active they would
1797 * have affected key translation.
1799 XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_XKB,
1801 * This is the mode used by the GTK+ toolkit.
1803 * The mode consists of the following two independent heuristics:
1805 * - The currently active set of modifiers, excluding modifiers which do
1806 * not affect the key (as described for @ref XKB_CONSUMED_MODE_XKB), are
1807 * considered consumed, if the keysyms produced when all of them are
1808 * active are different from the keysyms produced when no modifiers are
1811 * - A single modifier is considered consumed if the keysyms produced for
