python-keysymdef 1.2.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionX11 keysym definitions as Python data

This package exposes the X11 and XF86 keysym definitions to Python as lists of tuples, each giving a keysym's mnemonic name, its integer value and the Unicode code point it corresponds to, where one exists.

It lets a program translate between key names, keysyms and characters without linking against Xlib or libxkbcommon, which is useful for software that speaks a protocol carrying keysyms, such as RFB, rather than talking to an X server or a Wayland compositor directly. The data is hard-coded, so the module has no dependencies of its own.

Comment:
 This module is generated by generate.py from keysymdef.h and XF86keysym.h
 of x11proto-dev. It carries no notice of its own, so the notices of
 keysymdef.h, which cover the X11 keysym definitions it transcribes, are
 reproduced here. They also appear in COPYING-x11proto of xorgproto.
 XF86keysym.h has no copyright notice in xorgproto.
