NAME

       XmTranslateKey -- The default keycode-to-keysym translator


SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>
       void XmTranslateKey(
       Display *display,
       KeyCode keycode,
       Modifiers modifiers,
       Modifiers *modifiers_return,
       KeySym *keysym_return);


DESCRIPTION

       XmTranslateKey is the default XtKeyProc translation procedure for Motif
       applications. The function takes a keycode and  modifiers  and  returns
       the corresponding keysym.

       XmTranslateKey serves two main purposes: to enable new translators with
       expanded functionality  to  get  the  default  Motif  keycode-to-keysym
       translation  in  addition  to  whatever  they add, and to reinstall the
       default translator. This function enables keysyms defined by the  Motif
       virtual  bindings  to  be  used  when  an  application requires its own
       XtKeyProc to be installed.

       display   Specifies the display that the keycode is from

       keycode   Specifies the keycode to translate

       modifiers Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the keycode

       modifiers_return
                 Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually used to gener-
                 ate the keysym (an AND of modifiers and any default modifiers
                 applied by the currently registered translator)

       keysym_return
                 Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
