Name
KeymapNotify — xkeymap
When Generated
A KeymapNotify
event reports the state of
the keyboard and occurs when the pointer or keyboard focus enters a
window. KeymapNotify
events are reported
immediately after EnterNotify
or
FocusIn
events. This is a way for the application
to read the keyboard state as the application is “woken up,” since
the two triggering events usually indicate that the application is
about to receive user input.
Select With
This event is selected with
KeymapStateMask
.

event.key_vector
A bit vector or mask, each bit representing one physical key, with a total of 256 bits. For a given key, its keycode is its position in the keyboard vector. You can also get this bit vector by calling
XQueryKeymap
.
Notes
The serial
member of
KeymapNotify
does not contain the serial number
of the most recent protocol request processed, because this event
always follows immediately after EnterNotify
or
FocusIn
events in which the
serial
member is valid.
