Hi everyone. I’d like to get the current state of the various “lock” keys on thekeyboard. Is that possible with GTK+/GDK? I want to do this withoutinspecting a key event, because the lock state might change while theprogram’s window does not have the focus. The gdk_display_get_pointer() function looks like the right way to go,as it will give me a GdkModifierType bitfield. GDK_LOCK_MASK seems tobe caps lock, but the other lock keys seem to be buried within theGDK_MODn_MASK bits. The documentation tells me: GDK_MOD1_MASK the fourth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier, but normally it is the Alt key). GDK_MOD2_MASK the fifth modifier key (it depends on the modifier mapping of the X server which key is interpreted as this modifier). … How can I determine which of these modifier keys the various other locks(num, scroll, kana, …) have been assigned to, so that I know which bitto check? It must be possible to query the X server for thisinformation, since running 'xmodmap' can tell me that information, but Iwant to get this information from GTK+/GDK. What if my program isn’trunning under X? Is there some default mapping of lock keys to bitsused?
