.TP
.I \- xkb_syms_rtrn

.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
.I XkbKeyTypesForCoreSymbols
expands the symbols in
.I core_syms
and types in
.I types_inout,
then chooses canonical key types (canonical key types are
defined The Canonical Key Types) for groups 1 and 2 using the rules specified by
the Xkb protocol and places them in xkb_syms_rtrn, which will be non-NULL.
.B The Canonical Key Types
Xkb allows up to XkbMaxKeyTypes (255) key types to be defined, but requires at
least XkbNumRequiredTypes (4) predefined types to be in a key map. These
predefined key types are referred to as the canonical key types and describe the
types of keys available on most keyboards. The definitions for the canonical key
types are held in the first XkbNumRequiredTypes entries of the
.I types
field of the client map and are indexed using the following constants:
.nf
XkbOneLevelIndex
XkbTwoLevelIndex
XkbAlphabeticIndex
XkbKeypadIndex
.fi
ONE_LEVEL
The ONE_LEVEL key type describes groups that have only one symbol. The default
ONE_LEVEL key type has no map entries and does not pay attention to any
modifiers. A symbolic representation of this key type could look like the
following:
.nf
type "ONE_LEVEL" {
modifiers = None;
map[None]= Level1;
level_name[Level1]= "Any";
};
.fi
The description of the ONE_LEVEL key type is stored in the
types[XkbOneLevelIndex] entry of the client key map.
TWO_LEVEL
The TWO_LEVEL key type describes groups that consist of two symbols but are
neither alphabetic nor numeric keypad keys. The default TWO_LEVEL type uses only
the Shift modifier. It returns shift level two if Shift is set, and level one if
it is not. A symbolic representation of this key type could look like the
following:
.nf
type "TWO_LEVEL" {
modifiers = Shift;
map[Shift]= Level2;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Shift";
};
.fi
The description of the TWO_LEVEL key type is stored in the
types[XkbTwoLevelIndex] entry of the client key map.
ALPHABETIC
The ALPHABETIC key type describes groups consisting of two symbols: the
lowercase form of a symbol followed by the uppercase form of the same symbol.
The default ALPHABETIC type implements locale-sensitive "Shift cancels CapsLock"
behavior using both the Shift and Lock modifiers as follows:
.IP \(bu 5
If Shift and Lock are both set, the default ALPHABETIC type yields level one.
.IP \(bu 5
If Shift alone is set, it yields level two.
.IP \(bu 5
If Lock alone is set, it yields level one, but preserves the Lock modifier so
Xlib notices and applies the appropriate capitalization rules. The Xlib
functions are locale-sensitive and apply different capitalization rules for
different locales.
.IP \(bu 5
If neither Shift nor Lock is set, it yields level one.
A symbolic representation of this key type could look like the following:
.nf
type "ALPHABETIC" {
modifiers = Shift+Lock;
map[Shift]= Level2;
preserve[Lock]= Lock;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Caps";
};
.fi
The description of the ALPHABETIC key type is stored in the
types[XkbAlphabeticIndex] entry of the client key map.
KEYPAD
The KEYPAD key type describes groups that consist of two symbols, at least one
of which is a numeric keypad symbol. The numeric keypad symbol is assumed to
reside at level two. The default KEYPAD key type implements "Shift cancels
NumLock" behavior using the Shift modifier and the real modifier bound to the
virtual modifier named "NumLock," known as the NumLock modifier, as follows:
.IP \(bu 5
If Shift and NumLock are both set, the default KEYPAD type yields level one.
.IP \(bu 5
If Shift alone is set, it yields level two.
.IP \(bu 5
If NumLock alone is set, it yields level two.
.IP \(bu 5
If neither Shift nor NumLock is set, it yields level one.
A symbolic representation of this key type could look like the following:
.nf
type "KEYPAD" {
modifiers = Shift+NumLock;
map[None]= Level1;
map[Shift]= Level2;
map[NumLock]= Level2;
map[Shift+NumLock]= Level1;
level_name[Level1]= "Base";
level_name[Level2]= "Caps";
};
.fi
The description of the KEYPAD key type is stored in the types[XkbKeypadIndex]
entry of the client key map.
A core keymap is a two-dimensional array of keysyms. It has
.I map_width
columns and
.I max_key_code
rows.
.I XkbKeyTypesForCoreSymbols
takes a single row from a core keymap, determines the number of groups
associated with it, the type of each group, and the symbols bound to each group.
The return value is the number of groups,
.I types_inout
has the types for each group, and
.I xkb_syms_rtrn
has the symbols in Xkb order (that is, groups are contiguous, regardless of
size).
.I protected
contains the explicitly protected key types. There is one explicit override
control associated with each of the four possible groups for each Xkb key,
ExplicitKeyType1 through ExplicitKeyType4;
.I protected
is an inclusive OR of these controls.
.I map_width
is the width of the core keymap and is not dependent on any Xkb definitions.
.I types_inout
is an array of four type indices. On input,
.I types_inout
contains the indices of any types already assigned to the key, in case they are
explicitly protected from change.
Upon return,
.I types_inout
contains any automatically selected (that is, canonical) types plus any
protected types. Canonical types are assigned to all four groups if there are
enough symbols to do so. The four entries in
.I types_inout
correspond to the four groups for the key in question.
