XkbIgnoreExtension(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbIgnoreExtension(3)NAMEXkbIgnoreExtension - Prevents core X library keyboard functions from
using the X Keyboard Extension
SYNOPSIS
Bool XkbIgnoreExtension (Bool *ignore);
ARGUMENTS
ignore True means ignore the extension
DESCRIPTION
If a server supports the Xkb extension, the X library normally imple‐
ments preXkb keyboard functions using the Xkb keyboard description and
state. The server Xkb keyboard state may differ from the preXkb key‐
board state. This difference does not affect most clients, but there
are exceptions. To allow these clients to work properly, you may
instruct the extension not to use Xkb functionality.
Call XkbIgnoreExtension to prevent core X library keyboard functions
from using the X Keyboard Extension. You must call XkbIgnoreExtension
before you open a server connection; Xkb does not provide a way to
enable or disable use of the extension once a connection is estab‐
lished.
XkbIgnoreExtension tells the X library whether to use the X Keyboard
Extension on any subsequently opened X display connections. If ignore
is True, the library does not initialize the Xkb extension when it
opens a new display. This forces the X server to use compatibility mode
and communicate with the client using only core protocol requests and
events. If ignore is False, the library treats subsequent calls to
XOpenDisplay normally and uses Xkb extension requests, events, and
state. Do not explicitly use Xkb on a connection for which it is dis‐
abled. XkbIgnoreExtension returns False if it was unable to apply the
ignore request.
RETURN VALUES
True The XkbIgnoreExtension returns True if
False The XkbIgnoreExtension function returns False if it was
unable to apply the ignore request.
