* and Linux evdev scan codes (see linux/input.h), a fixed offset is used:

* generates the symbol 'A'. If a different layout is used, say Greek,
* it generates the symbol 'α'. And so on.
*
* Each such symbol is represented by a keysym. Note that keysyms are

/**
* Test whether a modifier is consumed by keyboard state translation for
* a key.
*
* Some functions, like xkb_state_key_get_syms(), look at the state of
* the modifiers in the keymap and derive from it the correct shift level
* to use for the key. For example, in a US layout, pressing the key
* labeled \<A\> while the Shift modifier is active, generates the keysym 'A'.
* In this case, the Shift modifier is said to be consumed. However, the
* Num Lock modifier does not affect this translation at all, even if it
* active, so it is not consumed by this translation.
*
* It may be desirable for some application to not reuse consumed modifiers
* for further processing, e.g. for hotkeys or keyboard shortcuts. To
* understand why, consider some requirements from a standard shortcut
* mechanism, and how they are implemented:
*
* 1. The shortcut's modifiers must match exactly to the state. For example,
* it is possible to bind separate actions to \<Alt\>\<Tab\> and to
* \<Alt\>\<Shift\>\<Tab\>. Further, if only \<Alt\>\<Tab\> is bound to
* an action, pressing \<Alt\>\<Shift\>\<Tab\> should not trigger the
* shortcut.
* Effectively, this means that the modifiers are compared using the
* equality operator (==).
* 2. Only relevant modifiers are considered for the matching. For example,
* Caps Lock and Num Lock should not generally affect the matching, e.g.
* when matching \<Alt\>\<Tab\> against the state, it does not matter
* whether Num Lock is active or not. These relevant, or significant,
* modifiers usually include Alt, Control, Shift, Super and similar.
* Effectively, this means that non-significant modifiers are masked out,
* before doing the comparison as described above.
* 3. The matching must be independent of the layout/keymap. For example,
* the \<Plus\> (+) symbol is found on the first level on some layouts,
* and requires holding Shift on others. If you simply bind the action
* to the \<Plus\> keysym, it would work for the unshifted kind, but
* not for the others, because the match against Shift would fail. If
* you bind the action to \<Shift\>\<Plus\>, only the shifted kind would
* work. So what is needed is to recognize that Shift is used up in the
* translation of the keysym itself, and therefore should not be included
* in the matching.
* Effectively, this means that consumed modifiers (Shift in this example)
* are masked out as well, before doing the comparison.
*
* To summarize, this is how the matching would be performed:
* @code
* (keysym == shortcut_keysym) &&
* ((state_modifiers & ~consumed_modifiers & significant_modifiers) == shortcut_modifiers)
* @endcode
*
* @c state_modifiers are the modifiers reported by
* xkb_state_mod_index_is_active() and similar functions.
* @c consumed_modifiers are the modifiers reported by
* xkb_state_mod_index_is_consumed().
* @c significant_modifiers are decided upon by the application/toolkit/user;
* it is up to them to decide whether these are configurable or hard-coded.
*
* @returns 1 if the modifier is consumed, 0 if it is not. If the modifier
