NAME
       XtSetKeyTranslator, XtTranslateKeycode, XtRegisterCase
       Converter, XtConvertCase - convert KeySym to KeyCodes

SYNTAX
       void XtSetKeyTranslator(Display *display, XtKeyProc proc);

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

       void XtRegisterCaseConverter(Display *display, XtCaseProc
	      proc, KeySym start, KeySym stop);

       void XtConvertCase(Display *display, KeySym keysym, KeySym
	      *lower_return, KeySym *upper_return);

ARGUMENTS
       display	 Specifies the display.

       keycode	 Specifies the KeyCode to translate.

       keysym	 Specifies the KeySym to convert.

       keysym_return
		 Returns the resulting KeySym.

       lower_return
		 Returns the lowercase equivalent of the KeySym.

       upper_return
		 Returns the uppercase equivalent of the KeySym.

       modifiers Specifies the modifiers to the KeyCode.

       modifiers_return
		 Returns a mask that indicates the modifiers
		 actually used to generate the KeySym.

       proc	 Specifies the procedure that is to perform key
		 translations or conversions.

       start	 Specifies the first KeySym for which this con
		 verter is valid.

       stop	 Specifies the last KeySym for which this con
		 verter is valid.

DESCRIPTION
       The XtSetKeyTranslator function sets the specified proce
       dure as the current key translator.  The default transla
       tor is XtTranslateKey, an XtKeyProc that uses Shift and
       Lock modifiers with the interpretations defined by the
       core protocol.  It is provided so that new translators can

       call it to get default KeyCode-to-KeySym translations and
       so that the default translator can be reinstalled.

       The XtTranslateKeycode function passes the specified argu
       ments directly to the currently registered KeyCode to
       KeySym translator.

       The XtRegisterCaseConverter registers the specified case
       converter.  The start and stop arguments provide the
       inclusive range of KeySyms for which this converter is to
       be called.  The new converter overrides any previous con
       verters for KeySyms in that range.  No interface exists to
       remove converters; you need to register an identity con
       verter.	When a new converter is registered, the Intrin
       sics  refreshes the keyboard state if necessary.	 The
       default converter understands case conversion for all
       KeySyms defined in the core protocol.

       The XtConvertCase function calls the appropriate converter
       and returns the results.	 A user-supplied XtKeyProc may
       need to use this function.
