If key press events are selected through
xregister
and waited for using xloop
, then !keycode
contains the X key code of the key pressed last. This code refers to a
particular physical key on your keyboard, regardless of what character
or function that key represents, and regardless of what modifier key or
keys (Shift
, Ctrl
, Alt
, Caps Lock
, etcetera)
are also active. There is no obvious translation from such a key code
to the character or function that it represents. Most users will prefer
to inspect !keysym
instead.
