*
Server
*
* For example: a Wayland compositor, an X11 server or an evdev listener. * * Servers maintain the XKB state for a device according to input events from * the device, such as key presses and releases, and out-of-band events from * the user, like UI layout switchers. *
*
Client
*
* For example: a Wayland client or an X11 client. * * Clients do not listen to input from the device; instead, whenever the * server state changes, the server serializes the state and notifies the * clients that the state has changed; the clients then update the state * from the serialization. *
*
* * There are two corresponding APIs: * *
*
`xkb_machine`: the *server* API
*
* This is the recommended API for **server** applications. It enables the full * feature set that libxkbcommon supports. * * `xkb_machine` is a [Mealy machine]: it is a finite-state machine that takes a * stream of raw key events – a pair ([keycode], [direction]) – as input, and * produces a stream of atomic [XKB events](@ref xkb_event) as output. * * The observable state of the machine is exposed via a companion `xkb_state` * object: * - Create it with `xkb_state::xkb_state_new_with_mode()` using * `::XKB_STATE_MODE_SERVER_QUERY`. * - Update it with `xkb_state::xkb_state_update_event()`. * - Query it (keysyms, modifiers, layout, LEDs) via the `xkb_state` query API. * * Note that the `xkb_machine` API supports events other than state * components changes, such as key press/release events, so that it enables * handling most of the XKB [key actions](@ref key-action-def). * * See the [example for a Wayland server](@ref quick-guide-wayland-server) * in the quick guide. * * @since 1.14.0 *
*
`xkb_state`: the *client* API (and legacy server API)
*
* This is the API for **client** applications and the *legacy API* for * **server** applications. * *
*
*Client* applications
*
* Create the state object with `xkb_state::xkb_state_new_with_mode()` using * `::XKB_STATE_MODE_CLIENT`, then update it via * `xkb_state::xkb_state_update_mask()` from server serializations. *
*
*Server* applications not using `xkb_machine`
*
* Create the state object with `xkb_state::xkb_state_new_with_mode()` using * `::XKB_STATE_MODE_SERVER`, or with the legacy * `xkb_state::xkb_state_new()` constructor, then update it via * `xkb_state::xkb_state_update_key()` for key events and * `xkb_state::xkb_state_update_synthetic()` for out-of-band inputs such as * layout switchers. *
*
* * @warning Some entry points in the `xkb_state` API are only meant for servers * and some are only meant for clients. Thus it is recommended to use * `xkb_state::xkb_state_new_with_mode()` because it enforces correct usage at * runtime and logs misuse as `::XKB_ERROR_UNEXPECTED_STATE_MODE`. * Using `xkb_state::xkb_state_new()` does not enforce this: mixing entry * points may lead to *incorrect state*. * * @note Since version 1.14.0, *server* applications should use the * `xkb_machine` API, which supports more features. * * See the [examples for clients](@ref quick-guide-clients) in the quick guide. *

For example, in a US layout, pressing the key * labeled `` while the Shift modifier is active, generates the keysym * `A`. In this case, the Shift modifier is said to be *consumed*. * However, the Num Lock modifier does not affect this translation at all, * even if it is active, so it is not consumed by this translation. * * It may be desirable for some application to not reuse consumed modifiers * for further processing, e.g. for hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts. To * understand why, consider some requirements from a standard shortcut * mechanism, and how they are implemented: * * 1. The shortcut’s modifiers must match exactly to the state. For * example, it is possible to bind separate actions to `` * and to ``. Further, if only `` is * bound to an action, pressing `` should not * trigger the shortcut. * Effectively, this means that the modifiers are compared using the * equality operator (`==`). * * 2. Only relevant modifiers are considered for the matching. For example, * Caps Lock and Num Lock should not generally affect the matching, e.g. * when matching `` against the state, it does not matter * whether Num Lock is active or not. These relevant, or *significant*, * modifiers usually include Alt, Control, Shift, Super and similar. * Effectively, this means that non-significant modifiers are masked out, * before doing the comparison as described above. * * 3. The matching must be independent of the layout/keymap. For example, * the `` (+) symbol is found on the first level on some layouts, * but requires holding Shift on others. If you simply bind the action * to the `` keysym, it would work for the unshifted kind, but * not for the others, because the match against Shift would fail. If * you bind the action to ``, only the shifted kind would * work. So what is needed is to recognize that Shift is used up in the * translation of the keysym itself, and therefore should not be included * in the matching. * Effectively, this means that consumed modifiers (Shift in this example) * are masked out as well, before doing the comparison. * * In summary, this is approximately how the matching would be performed: * * ```c * (keysym == shortcut_keysym) && * ((state_mods & ~consumed_mods & significant_mods) == shortcut_mods) * ``` * * @c state_mods are the modifiers reported by * `xkb_state::xkb_state_mod_index_is_active()` and similar functions. * @c consumed_mods are the modifiers reported by * `xkb_state::xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed()` and similar functions. * @c significant_mods are decided upon by the application/toolkit/user; * it is up to them to decide whether these are configurable or hard-coded. * * @endparblock */ /** * @enum xkb_consumed_mode * Consumed modifiers mode. * * There are several possible methods for deciding which modifiers are * consumed and which are not, each applicable for different systems or * situations.
