To do * so, it queries the XKB X11 extension using the xcb-xkb library. It * can be used as a replacement for Xlib's keyboard handling. * * Following is an example workflow using xkbcommon-x11. A complete * example may be found in the tools/interactive-x11.c file in the * xkbcommon source repository. On startup: * * 1. Connect to the X server using xcb_connect(). * 2. Setup the XKB X11 extension. You can do this either by using the * xcb_xkb_use_extension() request directly, or by using the * xkb_x11_setup_xkb_extension() helper function. * * The XKB extension supports using separate keymaps and states for * different keyboard devices. The devices are identified by an integer * device ID and are managed by another X11 extension, XInput. The * original X11 protocol only had one keyboard device, called the "core * keyboard", which is still supported as a "virtual device". * * 3. We will use the core keyboard as an example. To get its device ID, * use either the xcb_xkb_get_device_info() request directly, or the * xkb_x11_get_core_keyboard_device_id() helper function. * 4. Create an initial xkb_keymap for this device, using the * xkb_x11_keymap_new_from_device() function. * 5. Create an initial xkb_state for this device, using the * xkb_x11_state_new_from_device() function. * * @note At this point, you may consider setting various XKB controls and * XKB per-client flags. For example, enabling detectable autorepeat: \n * https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Detectable_Autorepeat * * Next, you need to react to state changes (e.g. a modifier was pressed, * the layout was changed) and to keymap changes (e.g. a tool like xkbcomp, * setxkbmap or xmodmap was used): * * 6. Select to listen to at least the following XKB events: * NewKeyboardNotify, MapNotify, StateNotify; using the * xcb_xkb_select_events_aux() request. * 7. When NewKeyboardNotify or MapNotify are received, recreate the * xkb_keymap and xkb_state as described above. * 8. When StateNotify is received, update the xkb_state accordingly * using the xkb_state_update_mask() function. * * @note It is also possible to use the KeyPress/KeyRelease @p state * field to find the effective modifier and layout state, instead of * using XkbStateNotify: \n * https://www.x.org/releases/current/doc/kbproto/xkbproto.html#Computing_A_State_Field_from_an_XKB_State * \n However, XkbStateNotify is more accurate. * * @note There is no need to call xkb_state_update_key(); the state is * already synchronized. * * Finally, when a key event is received, you can use ordinary xkbcommon * functions, like xkb_state_key_get_one_sym() and xkb_state_key_get_utf8(), * as you normally would. * * @endparblock */ /** * The minimal compatible major version of the XKB X11 extension which * this library can use. */ #define XKB_X11_MIN_MAJOR_XKB_VERSION 1 /** * The minimal compatible minor version of the XKB X11 extension which * this library can use (for the minimal major version). */ #define XKB_X11_MIN_MINOR_XKB_VERSION 0 /** Flags for the xkb_x11_setup_xkb_extension() function. */ enum xkb_x11_setup_xkb_extension_flags { /** Do not apply any flags. */ XKB_X11_SETUP_XKB_EXTENSION_NO_FLAGS = 0 }; /** * Setup the XKB X11 extension for this X client. * * The xkbcommon-x11 library uses various XKB requests.
