However, unlike selecting core X events, where you must +specify the selection status (on or off) for all possible event types whenever +you wish to change the selection criteria for any one event, Xkb allows you to +restrict the specification to only the event types you wish to change. This +means that you do not need to remember the event selection values for all +possible types each time you want to change one of them. + +Many Xkb event types are generated under several different circumstances. When +selecting to receive an Xkb event, you may specify either that you want it +delivered under all circumstances, or that you want it delivered only for a +subset of the possible circumstances. + +You can also deselect an event type that was previously selected for, using the +same granularity. + +Xkb provides two functions to select and deselect delivery of Xkb events. +.I XkbSelectEvents +allows you to select or deselect delivery of more than one Xkb event type at +once. Events selected using +.I XkbSelectEvents +are delivered to your program under all circumstances that generate the events. +To restrict delivery of an event to a subset of the conditions under which it +occurs, use +.I XkbSelectEventDetails. XkbSelectEventDetails +only allows you to change the selection conditions for a single event at a time, +but it provides a means of fine-tuning the conditions under which the event is +delivered. + +To select or deselect for a specific Xkb event and optionally place conditions +on when events of that type are reported to your client, use +.I XkbSelectEventDetails. +This allows you to exercise a finer granularity of +control over delivery of Xkb events with +.I XkbSelectEvents. + +While +.I XkbSelectEvents +allows multiple events to be selected, +.I XkbSelectEventDetails +changes the selection criteria for a single type of Xkb +event. The interpretation of the +.I bits_to_change +and +.I values_for_bits +masks depends on the event type in question. + +.I XkbSelectEventDetails +changes the Xkb event selection mask for the keyboard +specified by +.I device_spec +and the Xkb event specified by +.I event_type. +To turn on event selection for an event detail, set the bit for the +detail in the +.I bits_to_change +parameter and set the corresponding bit in the +.I values_for_bits +parameter. To turn off event detail selection for a detail, set +the bit for the detail in the +.I bits_to_change +parameter and do not set the corresponding bit in the +.I values_for_bits +parameter. + +If an invalid event type is specified, a BadValue protocol error results. If a +bit is not set in the +.I bits_to_change +parameter, but the corresponding bit is set in the +.I values_for_bits +parameter, a BadMatch protocol error results. If an undefined +bit is set in either the +.I bits_to_change +or the +.I values_for_bits +parameter, a BadValue protocol error results. + +For each type of Xkb event, the legal event details that you can specify in the +.I XkbSelectEventDetails +request are listed in the chapters that describe each event in detail. +.SH DIAGNOSTICS +.TP 15 +.SM BadMatch +A compatible version of Xkb was not available in the server or an argument has +correct type and range, but is otherwise invalid +.TP 15 +.SM BadValue +An argument is out of range +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.BR XkbSelectEvents (__libmansuffix__), +.BR XkbUseCoreKbd (__libmansuffix__) |
