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

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

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

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

       void XtConvertCase(display, keysym, lower_return,
       upper_return)
           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.
