Keyboard notifier
|
||||
|
||||
One can use register_keyboard_notifier to get called back on keyboard
|
||||
events (see kbd_keycode() function for details). The passed structure is
|
||||
keyboard_notifier_param:
|
||||
|
||||
- 'vc' always provide the VC for which the keyboard event applies;
|
||||
- 'down' is 1 for a key press event, 0 for a key release;
|
||||
- 'shift' is the current modifier state, mask bit indexes are KG_*;
|
||||
- 'value' depends on the type of event.
|
||||
|
||||
- KBD_KEYCODE events are always sent before other events, value is the keycode.
|
||||
- KBD_UNBOUND_KEYCODE events are sent if the keycode is not bound to a keysym.
|
||||
value is the keycode.
|
||||
- KBD_UNICODE events are sent if the keycode -> keysym translation produced a
|
||||
unicode character. value is the unicode value.
|
||||
- KBD_KEYSYM events are sent if the keycode -> keysym translation produced a
|
||||
non-unicode character. value is the keysym.
|
||||
- KBD_POST_KEYSYM events are sent after the treatment of non-unicode keysyms.
|
||||
That permits one to inspect the resulting LEDs for instance.
|
||||
|
||||
For each kind of event but the last, the callback may return NOTIFY_STOP in
|
||||
order to "eat" the event: the notify loop is stopped and the keyboard event is
|
||||
dropped.
|
||||
|
||||
In a rough C snippet, we have:
|
||||
|
||||
kbd_keycode(keycode) {
|
||||
...
|
||||
params.value = keycode;
|
||||
if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_KEYCODE,¶ms) == NOTIFY_STOP)
|
||||
|| !bound) {
|
||||
notifier_call_chain(KBD_UNBOUND_KEYCODE,¶ms);
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
if (unicode) {
|
||||
param.value = unicode;
|
||||
if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_UNICODE,¶ms) == NOTIFY_STOP)
|
||||
return;
|
||||
emit unicode;
|
||||
return;
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
params.value = keysym;
|
||||
if (notifier_call_chain(KBD_KEYSYM,¶ms) == NOTIFY_STOP)
|
||||
return;
|
||||
apply keysym;
|
||||
notifier_call_chain(KBD_POST_KEYSYM,¶ms);
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: This notifier is usually called from interrupt context.
