Does anyone know how to map multiple key combinations to a single key event
or from something that XLookupString returns via a keysym?
For example, we want to get back XK_Insert from something like ctrl-A. We
are not currently using any toolkits and have tried to find where in the
Athena widget set this type of translation is done. The O'Reilly books
are of no help on this.
We have also tried using XChangeKeyboardMapping but the page in the book
is VERY unclear. We tried to put 2 keysyms per keycode to map Ctrl-A to
XK_Insert as follows:
KeySym keysyms[] = { ControlMapIndex, XK_Insert };
:
XChangeKeyboardMapping( display, 84, 2, keysyms, 1 );
but all that did was make the 'a' key turn into Ctrl-B. If the explanation
is lengthy, is there a better source than the O'Reilly books.
