XChangeKeyboardDevice − change which device is used as the X keyboard
#include <X11/extensions/XInput.h>
Status
XChangeKeyboardDevice( Display *display,
XDevice *device);
display
Specifies the connection to the X server.
device
Specifies the device to be used as the X keyboard.
The
XChangeKeyboardDevice request causes the server to use the
specified device as the X keyboard. The device must have
been
previously opened by the requesting client via XOpenDevice
or a
BadDevice error will result. The device must support input
class Keys, or a BadMatch error will result. If the server
implementation does not support using the requested device
as
the X keyboard, a BadDevice error will result.
If the
specified device is grabbed by another client,
AlreadyGrabbed is returned. If the specified device is
frozen
by a grab on another device, GrabFrozen is returned. If the
request is successful, Success is returned.
If the request
succeeds, a ChangeDeviceNotify event is sent to
all clients that have selected that event. A MappingNotify
event with request = MappingKeyboard is sent to all clients.
The specified device becomes the X keyboard and the old X
keyboard becomes accessible through the input extension
protocol requests.
XChangeKeyboardDevice
can generate a BadDevice or a BadMatch
error.
BadDevice
An invalid device was specified. The specified device
does not exist, has not been opened by this client via
XOpenInputDevice, or is already one of the core X device
(pointer or keyboard). This error may also occur if the
server implementation does not support using the
specified device as the X keyboard.
BadMatch
This error may occur if an XChangeKeyboardDevice request
was made specifying a device that has no keys.
