Display.mapKeyval

bool mapKeyval(uint keyval, out gdk.types.KeymapKey[] keys)

Obtains a list of keycode/group/level combinations that will generate keyval.

Groups and levels are two kinds of keyboard mode; in general, the level determines whether the top or bottom symbol on a key is used, and the group determines whether the left or right symbol is used.

On US keyboards, the shift key changes the keyboard level, and there are no groups. A group switch key might convert a keyboard between Hebrew to English modes, for example.

gdk.event_key.EventKey contains a group field that indicates the active keyboard group. The level is computed from the modifier mask.

The returned array should be freed with glib.global.gfree.

Parameters

keyvala keyval, such as gdk.types.KEY_a, gdk.types.KEY_Up, gdk.types.KEY_Return, etc.
keysreturn location for an array of gdk.types.KeymapKey

Returns

true if keys were found and returned
