void XmTranslateKey(
Display *display,
KeyCode keycode,
Modifiers modifiers,
Modifiers *modifiers_return,
KeySym *keysym_return);

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 generate 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
