.SH DESCRIPTION
.LP
Actions associated with the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure generate KeyPress and 
KeyRelease events 
containing a keycode different from the key that was pressed or released.

The 
.I type 
field for the XkbRedirectKeyAction structure should always be XkbSA_RedirectKey.
Key presses cause a KeyPress event for the key specified by the 
.I new_key 
field instead of the actual key. The state reported in this event reports the 
current effective 
modifiers changed as follows: any real modifiers selected by the 
.I mods_mask 
field are set to corresponding values from the 
.I mods 
field. Any real modifiers bound to the virtual modifiers specified by the
.I vmods_mask0 
and 
.I vmods_mask1 
fields are either set or cleared, depending on the corresponding values in the
.I vmods0 
and 
.I vmods1 
fields. If the real and virtual modifier definitions specify conflicting values 
for a single modifier, 
the real modifier definition has priority.

Key releases cause a KeyRelease event for the key specified by the 
.I new_key 
field instead of the actual key. The state for this event consists of the 
effective keyboard modifiers 
at the time of the release, changed as described previously.

The XkbSA_RedirectKey action normally redirects to another key on the same 
device as the key that 
caused the event, unless that device does not belong to the input extension 
KeyClass, in which case 
this action causes an event on the core keyboard device. (The input extension 
categorizes devices by 
breaking them into classes. Keyboards, and other input devices with keys, are 
classified as KeyClass 
devices by the input extension.)

The 
.I vmods_mask0 
and 
.I vmods_mask1 
fields actually represent one 
.I vmods_mask 
value. Xkb provides macros to convert between the two formats.

.I XkbSARedirectVModsMask 
returns the 
.I vmods0 
and 
.I vmods1 
fields of 
.I act 
converted to an unsigned int.
