## DESCRIPTION

`XmTranslateKey` is the default XtKeyProc translation procedure for Motif applications. The function takes a keycode and modifiers and returns the corresponding keysym.

`XmTranslateKey` serves two main purposes: to enable new translators with expanded functionality to get the default Motif keycode-to-keysym translation in addition to whatever they add, and to reinstall the default translator. This function enables keysyms defined by the Motif virtual bindings to be used when an application requires its own XtKeyProc to be installed.

display

- Specifies the display that the keycode is from

keycode

- Specifies the keycode to translate

modifiers

- Specifies the modifier keys to be applied to the keycode

modifiers_return

- Specifies a mask of the modifier keys actually used to generate the keysym (an AND of modifiers and any default modifiers applied by the currently registered translator)

keysym_return

- Specifies a pointer to the resulting keysym
