GLUTGETMODIFIERS(3)

💖 glutGetModifiers(3) 💖

okay bestie, welcome to GLUTGETMODIFIERS(3) — the little page that tells you what your keyboard is doing while you're holding it down 🎀

Library: OpenGLUT — inputstate ✨

---

✨ NAME ✨

glutGetModifiers — tells you whether Alt, Shift and Ctrl are being held down rn. no cap, that's literally the whole job 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <openglut.h>

int
glutGetModifiers(void);

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so the vibe check is: depending on which modifier keys — if any — are currently being held, the value it hands back is the logical OR combination of any of these iconic symbolic bitmasks 🫶

• GLUT_ACTIVE_SHIFT
• GLUT_ACTIVE_CTRL
• GLUT_ACTIVE_ALT

like fr fr, e.g. if the shift key is held and no other modifier keys are held, this function will return GLUT_ACTIVE_SHIFT. simple as that, main character behaviour 💖

---

💀 BUGS 💀

• it complains if it's not invoked by a client callback 😭 like girl, read the room, it needs the callback context.
• it does not differentiate between the left and right forms of the modifiers 🙈 so your left shift and right shift are giving the same energy to this function, unfortunately.
