πŸ‘‘ XtRegisterGrabAction β€” a manual page, but make it cute

okay bestie, so this one is from the XT FUNCTIONS corner of the universe, it's called XtRegisterGrabAction(3), and honestly? it's giving short but mighty. let's get into it πŸ’…


✨ NAME ✨

XtRegisterGrabAction β€” register button and key grabs πŸŽ€


🌸 SYNTAX 🌸

#include <X11/Intrinsic.h>

void XtRegisterGrabAction(XtActionProc action_proc, Boolean
       owner_events, unsigned int event_mask, int pointer_mode, int
       keyboard_mode);

there she is. copy it exactly, no cap 🫢


πŸ¦‹ ARGUMENTS πŸ¦‹

  • action_proc β€” this is the action procedure you want the translation manager to go looking for in translation tables. like, "hey bestie, go find this one" πŸ”

and then there's a lil squad of arguments with no description attached:

  • action
  • event
  • params
  • num_params

these four β€” action, event, params and num_params β€” are the ones that specify arguments to XtGrabButton or XtGrabKey. that's the whole note, periodt. no extra lore, no secret bonus text. πŸ’€


πŸ’– DESCRIPTION πŸ’–

so what does it actually do? XtRegisterGrabAction adds the specified action_proc to a list known to the translation manager. that's it. that's the whole vibe. it's a registry moment β€” you put your action proc on the list, the translation manager now knows about it, and the button and key grabs get handled accordingly. lowkey iconic behavior ✨
