/**
 * SECTION:keys
 * @Short_description: Functions for manipulating keyboard codes
 * @Title: Key Values
 *
 * Key values are the codes which are sent whenever a key is pressed or released.
 * They appear in the #GdkEventKey.keyval field of the
 * #GdkEventKey structure, which is passed to signal handlers for the
 * #GtkWidget::key-press-event and #GtkWidget::key-release-event signals.
 * The complete list of key values can be found in the
 * <filename>&lt;gdk/gdkkeysyms.h&gt;</filename> header file.
 *
 * Key values are regularly updated from the upstream X.org X11 implementation,
 * so new values are added regularly. They will be prefixed with GDK_KEY_ rather
 * than XF86XK_ or XK_ (for older symbols).
 *
 * Key values can be converted into a string representation using
 * gdk_keyval_name(). The reverse function, converting a string to a key value,
 * is provided by gdk_keyval_from_name().
 *
 * The case of key values can be determined using gdk_keyval_is_upper() and
 * gdk_keyval_is_lower(). Key values can be converted to upper or lower case
 * using gdk_keyval_to_upper() and gdk_keyval_to_lower().
 *
 * When it makes sense, key values can be converted to and from
 * Unicode characters with gdk_keyval_to_unicode() and gdk_unicode_to_keyval().
 *
 * <para id="key-group-explanation">
 * One #GdkKeymap object exists for each user display. gdk_keymap_get_default()
 * returns the #GdkKeymap for the default display; to obtain keymaps for other
 * displays, use gdk_keymap_get_for_display(). A keymap
 * is a mapping from #GdkKeymapKey to key values. You can think of a #GdkKeymapKey
 * as a representation of a symbol printed on a physical keyboard key. That is, it
 * contains three pieces of information. First, it contains the hardware keycode;
 * this is an identifying number for a physical key. Second, it contains the
 * <firstterm>level</firstterm> of the key. The level indicates which symbol on the
 * key will be used, in a vertical direction. So on a standard US keyboard, the key
 * with the number "1" on it also has the exclamation point ("!") character on
 * it. The level indicates whether to use the "1" or the "!" symbol.  The letter
 * keys are considered to have a lowercase letter at level 0, and an uppercase
 * letter at level 1, though only the uppercase letter is printed.  Third, the
 * #GdkKeymapKey contains a group; groups are not used on standard US keyboards,
 * but are used in many other countries. On a keyboard with groups, there can be 3
 * or 4 symbols printed on a single key. The group indicates movement in a
 * horizontal direction. Usually groups are used for two different languages.  In
 * group 0, a key might have two English characters, and in group 1 it might have
 * two Hebrew characters. The Hebrew characters will be printed on the key next to
 * the English characters.
 * </para>
 *
 * In order to use a keymap to interpret a key event, it's necessary to first
 * convert the keyboard state into an effective group and level. This is done via a
 * set of rules that varies widely according to type of keyboard and user
 * configuration. The function gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state() accepts a
 * keyboard state -- consisting of hardware keycode pressed, active modifiers, and
 * active group -- applies the appropriate rules, and returns the group/level to be
 * used to index the keymap, along with the modifiers which did not affect the
 * group and level. i.e. it returns "unconsumed modifiers." The keyboard group may
 * differ from the effective group used for keymap lookups because some keys don't
 * have multiple groups - e.g. the Enter key is always in group 0 regardless of
 * keyboard state.
 *
 * Note that gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state() also returns the keyval, i.e. it
 * goes ahead and performs the keymap lookup in addition to telling you which
 * effective group/level values were used for the lookup. #GdkEventKey already
 * contains this keyval, however, so you don't normally need to call
 * gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state() just to get the keyval.

 * actually used for the translation; some keys such as Enter are not

 * @state. For convenience, #GdkEventKey already contains the translated
 * keyval, so this function isn't as useful as you might think.

 * <note><para>
 * @consumed_modifiers gives modifiers that should be masked out
 * from @state when comparing this key press to a hot key. For
 * instance, on a US keyboard, the <literal>plus</literal>
 * symbol is shifted, so when comparing a key press to a
 * <literal>&lt;Control&gt;plus</literal> accelerator &lt;Shift&gt; should
 * be masked out.

 * <para>
 * An older interpretation @consumed_modifiers was that it contained
 * all modifiers that might affect the translation of the key;
 * this allowed accelerators to be stored with irrelevant consumed
 * modifiers, by doing:</para>
 * <informalexample><programlisting>
 * &sol;* XXX Don't do this XXX *&sol;
 * if (keyval == accel_keyval &&
 *     (event->state &amp; ~consumed &amp; ALL_ACCELS_MASK) == (accel_mods &amp; ~consumed))

 * would be masked out even if only <literal>&lt;Control&gt;&lt;Alt&gt;</literal>
 * was used in the keymap. To support this usage as well as well as
 * possible, all <emphasis>single modifier</emphasis> combinations
 * that could affect the key for any combination of modifiers will
 * be returned in @consumed_modifiers; multi-modifier combinations
 * are returned only when actually found in @state. When you store
 * accelerators, you should always store them with consumed modifiers
 * removed. Store <literal>&lt;Control&gt;plus</literal>,
