First things first, you gotta pull in the header:

#include <xcb/xinput.h>

🎀 Request function

xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_cookie_t
       xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       uint8_t device_id, uint8_t keycodes_per_modifier, const
       uint8_t *keymaps);

🦋 Reply datastructure

typedef struct xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_reply_t {
           uint8_t  response_type;
           uint8_t  xi_reply_type;
           uint16_t sequence;
           uint32_t length;
           uint8_t  status;
           uint8_t  pad0[23];
       } xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_reply_t;

🌸 Reply function

xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_reply_t
       *xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_reply(xcb_connection_t *conn,
       xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_cookie_t cookie,
       xcb_generic_error_t **e);

🌈 REQUEST ARGUMENTS 🌈

  • conn — the XCB connection to X11, your lil hotline to the server 💅
  • device_id — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. bestie the docs really said "figure it out" 😭
  • keycodes_per_modifier — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. same energy, no notes, just mystery ✨
  • keymaps — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. iconic of them to leave us hanging fr fr

💜 REPLY FIELDS 💜

  • response_type — the type of this reply, and in this case it's XCB_INPUT_SET_DEVICE_MODIFIER_MAPPING. This field also shows up in the xcb_generic_reply_t, so you can use it to tell your replies apart from each other 👑
  • sequence — the sequence number of the last request the X11 server processed 🫶
  • length — how long the reply is, in words (and a word here is 4 bytes, periodt)
  • xi_reply_type — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. the mystery continues 🕵️
  • status — TODO: NOT YET DOCUMENTED. ngl we simply do not know 🙈

💫 DESCRIPTION 💫

Okay so… there is genuinely nothing here. The section exists, the section is empty. It's giving minimalism, it's giving "no thoughts, head empty" 💀 the vibe is immaculate, the content is zero.

🔥 RETURN VALUE 🔥

You get back an xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_cookie_t. Errors have to be handled when you call the reply function xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_reply.

If you'd rather handle your errors in the event loop instead, use xcb_input_set_device_modifier_mapping_unchecked. Peep xcb-requests(3) for the deets, iykyk 🌟

💅 ERRORS 💅

Good news bestie: this request does never generate any errors. Not one. Zero. Clean sheet. Slay. 🎀
