🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• keysym — bestie, this is literally the KeySym that is to be tested. that's the whole assignment. hand it over and let the macro do its little vibe check ✨

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so each of these macros is a tiny "are you…?" detector, and they all lowkey do the same shape of thing: you give them a KeySym, they hit you back with True if that keysym matches their whole thing, and honestly they're all eating 🔥

• IsCursorKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a cursor key. arrow-key behavior, no cap 👑
• IsFunctionKey returns True if the KeySym is a function key. yes the F-keys, they have a fanbase 🎀
• IsKeypadKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a keypad key. numpad girlies rise 🌸
• IsMiscFunctionKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a miscellaneous function key. the misc ones are so iconically unbothered 💅
• IsModifierKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a modifier key. the ones that change what everything else means, main character energy fr fr ⭐
• IsPFKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a PF key. PF keys stay having their own little moment 🦋
• IsPrivateKeypadKey returns True if the specified KeySym is a vendor-private keypad key. vendor-private, so like, it's got its own thing going on 🙈

ngl all seven return int, and the answer you care about is True — that's the whole vibe check 🌈
