Keysym to modifiers state

[Cvetelin Andreev]

You can try this


#include <stdio.h>
#include <X11/Xlib.h>
#include <X11/Xutil.h>
#include <X11/keysym.h>

Display* kdpy;
Window kroot;

main(argc,argv)
     int argc;
     char **argv;
{
     /* Open the display */
     if ((kdpy = XOpenDisplay(NULL)) == NULL) {
         (void) fprintf(stderr, "%s: can't open %s\n",
                              argv[0], XDisplayName(NULL));
         exit(1);
     }

     kroot = XDefaultRootWindow(kdpy);

     KeyCode first = XKeysymToKeycode(kdpy, XK_a);
     KeyCode second = XKeysymToKeycode(kdpy, XK_A);

     printf("First is 0x%x, second is 0x%x\n", first, second);
     XCloseDisplay(kdpy);
}


The result on my computer is:

First is 0x26, second is 0x26
