How to get mods keysym names from keysym numbers #272
Description
I needed to return for Shift dynamically Shift_L so I wrote this code and my question is whether part of the code marked as here could become part of this lib:
import Xlib.XK
mods_to_indexes_x11 = {
"Shift": Xlib.X.ShiftMapIndex,
"Lock": Xlib.X.LockMapIndex,
"Control": Xlib.X.ControlMapIndex,
"Mod1": Xlib.X.Mod1MapIndex,
"Mod2": Xlib.X.Mod2MapIndex,
"Mod3": Xlib.X.Mod3MapIndex,
"Mod4": Xlib.X.Mod4MapIndex,
"Mod5": Xlib.X.Mod5MapIndex
}
if display and mod_name in mods_to_indexes_x11:
mods = display.get_modifier_mapping()
first_keycode = mods[mods_to_indexes_x11[mod_name]][0]
if first_keycode:
key = EV_KEY.codes[int(first_keycode) - 8]
keysym = display.keycode_to_keysym(first_keycode, 0)
# here
for key in Xlib.XK.__dict__:
if key.startswith("XK") and Xlib.XK.__dict__[key] == keysym:
return key[3:]
# here
