get_entries_for_keyval


Description:

public bool get_entries_for_keyval (uint keyval, out KeymapKey[] keys)

Obtains a list of keycode/group/level combinations that will generate keyval.

Groups and levels are two kinds of keyboard mode; in general, the level determines whether the top or bottom symbol on a key is used, and the group determines whether the left or right symbol is used. On US keyboards, the shift key changes the keyboard level, and there are no groups. A group switch key might convert a keyboard between Hebrew to English modes, for example. EventKey contains a group field that indicates the active keyboard group. The level is computed from the modifier mask. The returned array should be freed with g_free.

Parameters:

this

a Keymap

keyval

a keyval, such as gdk_key_a, gdk_key_up, gdk_key_return, etc.

keys

return location for an array of KeymapKey

n_keys

return location for number of elements in returned array

Returns:

true if keys were found and returned
