XkbSetIgnoreLockMods(3)		 XKB FUNCTIONS	       XkbSetIgnoreLockMods(3)

NAME
       XkbSetIgnoreLockMods  -	Sets the modifiers that, if locked, are not to
       be reported in matching events to passive grabs

SYNOPSIS
       Bool  XkbSetIgnoreLockMods   (	display,   device_spec,	  affect_real,
       real_values, affect_virtual, virtual_values )
	     Display *display;
	     unsigned int device_spec;
	     unsigned int affect_real;
	     unsigned int real_values;
	     unsigned int affect_virtual;
	     unsigned int virtual_values;

ARGUMENTS
       - display
	      connection to the X server

       - device_spec
	      device ID, or XkbUseCoreKbd

       - affect_real
	      mask of real modifiers affected by this call

       - real_values
	      values for affected real modifiers (1=>set, 0=>unset)

       - affect_virtual
	      mask of virtual modifiers affected by this call

       - virtual_values
	      values for affected virtual modifiers (1=>set, 0=>unset)

DESCRIPTION
       The  core protocol does not provide a way to exclude specific modifiers
       from grab calculations, with the result that  locking  modifiers	 some‐
       times have unanticipated side effects.

       The  IgnoreLockMods control specifies modifiers that should be excluded
       from grab calculations. These modifiers are also not  reported  in  any
       core  events except KeyPress and KeyRelease events that do not activate
       a passive grab and that do not occur while a grab is active.

       Manipulate the IgnoreLockMods control via the ignore_lock field in  the
       XkbControlsRec structure, then use XkbSetControls and XkbGetControls to
       query and change this control. Alternatively, use XkbSetIgnoreLockMods.

       XkbSetIgnoreLockMods sends a  request  to  the  server  to  change  the
       server's IgnoreLockMods control.	 affect_real and real_values are masks
       of real modifier bits indicating which real modifiers are to  be	 added
       and   removed  from  the	 server's  IgnoreLockMods  control.  Modifiers
       selected by both affect_real and real_values are added to the  server's
       IgnoreLockMods  control;	 those	selected  by  affect_real  but	not by
       real_values are removed from the server's IgnoreLockMods control. Valid
       values  for  affect_real	 and real_values consist of any combination of
       the  eight  core	 modifier  bits:  ShiftMask,  LockMask,	  ControlMask,
       Mod1Mask	 -  Mod5Mask.	affect_virtual and virtual_values are masks of
       virtual modifier bits indicating which  virtual	modifiers  are	to  be
       added  and  removed from the server's IgnoreLockMods control. Modifiers
       selected by both affect_virtual and virtual_values  are	added  to  the
       server's	 IgnoreLockMods	 control; those selected by affect_virtual but
       not by virtual_values are removed from the server's IgnoreLockMods con‐
       trol.  See  below  for a discussion of virtual modifier masks to use in
       affect_virtual and virtual_values. XkbSetIgnoreLockMods does  not  wait
       for  a  reply from the server. It returns True if the request was sent,
       and False otherwise.

       Virtual modifiers are named by converting their string  name  to	 an  X
       Atom  and  storing  the	Atom in the names.vmods array in an XkbDescRec
       structure. The position of a name Atom in the names.vmods array defines
       the  bit	 position  used to represent the virtual modifier and also the
       index used when accessing virtual modifier information in  arrays:  the
       name  in the i-th (0 relative) entry of names.vmods is the i-th virtual
       modifier, represented by the mask (1<<i). Throughout Xkb, various func‐
       tions  have  a  parameter  that is a mask representing virtual modifier
       choices. In each case, the i-th bit (0 relative) of the mask represents
       the i-th virtual modifier.

       To  set	the name of a virtual modifier, use XkbSetNames, using XkbVir‐
       tualModNamesMask in which and the name in the xkb argument; to retrieve
       indicator names, use XkbGetNames.

STRUCTURES
       The  complete description of an Xkb keyboard is given by an XkbDescRec.
       The component structures in the XkbDescRec represent the major Xkb com‐
       ponents.

       typedef struct {
	   struct _XDisplay * display;	    /∗ connection to X server */
	   unsigned short     flags;	    /∗ private to Xkb, do not modify */
	   unsigned short     device_spec;  /∗ device of interest */
	   KeyCode	      min_key_code; /∗ minimum keycode for device */
	   KeyCode	      max_key_code; /∗ maximum keycode for device */
	   XkbControlsPtr     ctrls;	    /∗ controls */
	   XkbServerMapPtr    server;	    /∗ server keymap */
	   XkbClientMapPtr    map;	    /∗ client keymap */
	   XkbIndicatorPtr    indicators;   /∗ indicator map */
	   XkbNamesPtr	      names;	    /∗ names for all components */
	   XkbCompatMapPtr    compat;	    /∗ compatibility map */
	   XkbGeometryPtr     geom;	    /∗ physical geometry of keyboard */
       } XkbDescRec, *XkbDescPtr;

       The  display field points to an X display structure. The flags field is
       private	to  the	 library:  modifying  flags  may  yield	 unpredictable
       results.	 The  device_spec field specifies the device identifier of the
       keyboard input device, or XkbUseCoreKeyboard, which specifies the  core
       keyboard	 device.  The min_key_code and max_key_code fields specify the
       least and greatest keycode that can be returned by the keyboard.

       Each structure component has a corresponding mask bit that is  used  in
       function	 calls to indicate that the structure should be manipulated in
       some manner, such as allocating it or freeing it. These masks and their
       relationships to the fields in the XkbDescRec are shown in Table 1.
