XCB_INPUT_DEVICE_KEY_PRESS_EVENT_T(3)

💖 xcb_input_device_key_press_event_t 💖

okay bestie, so this is a section 3 page from the XCB Events manual — it's xcb_input_device_key_press_event_t, and yeah, the title is a whole mouthful, we're just gonna go with it. It's a struct. A key-press-shaped struct from the X Input extension. Sit with me, we're gonna read the whole thing together 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

xcb_input_device_key_press_event_t — and that's literally all the NAME section says, no lil tagline, no nothing. She's mysterious like that. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

First, the include, so your compiler doesn't ghost you:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Event datastructure 🎀

And here's the whole struct, every field, in order, no skips:

typedef struct xcb_input_device_key_press_event_t {
    uint8_t         response_type;
    uint8_t         detail;
    uint16_t        sequence;
    xcb_timestamp_t time;
    xcb_window_t    root;
    xcb_window_t    event;
    xcb_window_t    child;
    int16_t         root_x;
    int16_t         root_y;
    int16_t         event_x;
    int16_t         event_y;
    uint16_t        state;
    uint8_t         same_screen;
    uint8_t         device_id;
} xcb_input_device_key_press_event_t;

look at her. fourteen fields. absolutely iconic ✨

👑 EVENT FIELDS 👑

okay so this is the part where we go field by field. heads up: a LOT of these are marked NOT YET DOCUMENTED, which is giving "the docs team left us on read" 😭 i'm not gonna make stuff up, so if it says not documented, i'm passing that straight to you. no cap.

• response_type — this is the event type. and here's the funny part: the manual says in this case XCB_INPUT_PROXIMITY_OUT. yeah bestie, on a key press event. i don't make the rules, i just relay them 💀 anyway, this field also lives in the xcb_generic_event_t, so you can peek at it to figure out which event you're actually holding.
• sequence — the sequence number of the last request that got processed by the X11 server.
• detail — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• time — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• root — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• event — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• child — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• root_x — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• root_y — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• event_x — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• event_y — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• state — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• same_screen — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.
• device_id — NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

ngl, that's a lot of NOT YET DOCUMENTED and not a lot of answers. it is what it is, we don't invent lore in this house 🧚

and that's the whole page, start to finish, no bits left behind 🫶 this one's from X Version 11, libxcb 1.17, and yeah the date on the tin is... also not something the page felt like telling us, so we're rolling with the version and calling it a day. bye bestie, drink water, close your file descriptors 💖🎀
