Should gdkevents-x11.c use gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state ()
Last modified: 2011-02-04 16:16:03 UTC
Right now, we use XLookupString () instead; this is sort of useful because it gives us the string that we have in the GdkEvent (but we don't use that string anywhere, and shouldn't -- string translations come from the input method). However, we are basically just hoping that XLookupString() is consistent with what we do in gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state - that better be true in broad outline anyways so that GDK apps work like other apps, but in some parts ... e.g., the fudging of GDK_Tab / GDK_ISO_Left_Tab, we are already deviating a bit.
