XkbActionCtrls(3) XKB FUNCTIONS XkbActionCtrls(3)
NAME
XkbActionCtrls - Returns the ctrls fields of act converted to an un-
signed int
SYNOPSIS
unsigned int XkbActionCtrls (XkbCtrlsAction act);
ARGUMENTS
act action from which to extract controls
DESCRIPTION
Actions associated with the XkbCtrlsAction structure change the state
of the boolean controls.
The type field can have any one of the values shown in Table 1.
Table 1 Controls Action Types
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
Type Effect
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
XkbSA_SetControls A key press enables any boolean controls
specified in the ctrls fields that were
not already enabled at the time of the
key press. A key release disables any
controls enabled by the key press. This
action can cause XkbControlsNotify
events.
XkbSA_LockControls If the XkbSA_LockNoLock bit is not set
in the flags field, a key press enables
any controls specified in the ctrls
fields that were not already enabled at
the time of the key press.
If the XkbSA_LockNoUnlock bit is not set
in the flags field, a key release dis-
ables any controls specified in the
ctrls fields that were not already dis-
abled at the time of the key press.
This action can cause XkbControlsNotify
events.
The flags field is composed of the bitwise inclusive OR of the masks
shown in Table 2.

Flag Meaning
──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
XkbSA_LockNoLock If set, and the action type is
XkbSA_LockControls, the server only dis-
ables controls.
XkbSA_LockNoUnlock If set, and the action type is
XkbSA_LockControls, the server only en-
ables controls.
The XkbSA_SetControls action implements a key that enables a boolean
control when pressed and disables it when released. The XkbSA_LockCon-
trols action is used to implement a key that toggles the state of a
boolean control each time it is pressed and released. The XkbSA_Loc-
kNoLock and XkbSA_LockNoUnlock flags allow modifying the toggling be-
havior to only unlock or only lock the boolean control.
The ctrls0, ctrls1, ctrls2, and ctrls3 fields represent the boolean
controls in the enabled_ctrls field of the controls structure. Xkb
macros, to convert between the two formats.
XkbActionCtrls returns the ctrls fields of act converted to an unsigned
int.
