Struct gdk4::KeyEvent

pub struct KeyEvent(_);

An event related to a key-based device.

Implementations

impl KeyEvent

pub fn upcast(self) -> Event

pub fn upcast_ref(&self) -> &Event

impl KeyEvent

pub fn consumed_modifiers(&self) -> ModifierType

Extracts the consumed modifiers from a key event.

Returns

the consumed modifiers or self

pub fn keycode(&self) -> u32

Extracts the keycode from a key event.

Returns

the keycode of self

pub fn keyval(&self) -> Key

Extracts the keyval from a key event.

Returns

the keyval of self

pub fn layout(&self) -> u32

Extracts the layout from a key event.

Returns

the layout of self

pub fn level(&self) -> u32

Extracts the shift level from a key event.

Returns

the shift level of self

pub fn match_(&self) -> Option<(Key, ModifierType)>

Gets a keyval and modifier combination that will match the event.

See matches().

Returns

true on success

keyval

return location for a keyval

modifiers

return location for modifiers

pub fn is_modifier(&self) -> bool

Extracts whether the key event is for a modifier key.

Returns

true if the self is for a modifier key

pub fn matches(&self, keyval: Key, modifiers: ModifierType) -> KeyMatch

Matches a key event against a keyval and modifiers.

This is typically used to trigger keyboard shortcuts such as Ctrl-C.

Partial matches are possible where the combination matches if the currently active group is ignored.

Note that we ignore Caps Lock for matching.

keyval

the keyval to match

modifiers

the modifiers to match

Returns

a KeyMatch value describing whether self matches

Methods from Deref<Target = Event>

pub fn downcast_ref<T: EventKind>(&self) -> Option<&T>

pub fn angle<P: AsRef<Event>>(&self, event: P) -> Option<f64>

pub fn center<P: AsRef<Event>>(&self, event: P) -> Option<(f64, f64)>

pub fn distance<P: AsRef<Event>>(&self, event: P) -> Option<f64>

pub fn axis(&self, axis_use: AxisUse) -> Option<f64>

Extract the axis value for a particular axis use from an event structure.

axis_use

the axis use to look for

Returns

true if the specified axis was found, otherwise false

value

location to store the value found

pub fn device(&self) -> Option<Device>

Returns the device of an event.

Returns

a Device

pub fn display(&self) -> Option<Display>

Retrieves the display associated to the self.

Returns

a Display

pub fn event_type(&self) -> EventType

Retrieves the type of the event.

Returns

a EventType

pub fn history(&self) -> Vec<TimeCoord>

Retrieves the history of the device that self is for, as a list of time and coordinates.

The history includes positions that are not delivered as separate events to the application because they occurred in the same frame as self.

Note that only motion and scroll events record history, and motion events do it only if one of the mouse buttons is down.

Returns

an array of time and coordinates

pub fn modifier_state(&self) -> ModifierType

Returns the modifier state field of an event.

Returns

the modifier state of self

pub fn is_pointer_emulated(&self) -> bool

Returns whether this event is an ‘emulated’ pointer event.

Emulated pointer events typically originate from a touch events.

Returns

true if this event is emulated

pub fn position(&self) -> Option<(f64, f64)>

Extract the event surface relative x/y coordinates from an event.

Returns

x

location to put event surface x coordinate

y

location to put event surface y coordinate

pub fn seat(&self) -> Option<Seat>

Returns the seat that originated the event.

Returns

a Seat.

pub fn surface(&self) -> Option<Surface>

Extracts the surface associated with an event.

Returns

The Surface associated with the event

pub fn time(&self) -> u32

Returns the timestamp of self.

Not all events have timestamps. In that case, this function returns GDK_CURRENT_TIME.

Returns

timestamp field from self

pub fn triggers_context_menu(&self) -> bool

Returns whether a Event should trigger a context menu, according to platform conventions.

The right mouse button typically triggers context menus.

This function should always be used instead of simply checking for event->button == GDK_BUTTON_SECONDARY.

Returns

true if the event should trigger a context menu.
