| | Encyclopedia: Modifier key |
 | | In computing, a modifier key is a special key on a computer keyboard that modifies the normal action of another key when the two are pressed in combination. | | | On some computer systems, a compose key is a key which is designated to signal the software to interpret the next keystrokes as a combination in order to produce a character not found on the keyboard. | | | Categories: Computer keys In computing, a control character or non-printing character, is a code point (a number) in a character set that does not, in itself, represent a written symbol. |

| | United States Patent Application: 0040075648 |
| | When the user presses the modifier key, a character input engine executing on mobile computing device 100 determines which of the special characters associated with the regular character should be inputted. | | | Pressing multiple keys is often difficult for users to perform, especially on a small keyboard found on many mobile computing devices. | | | This invention provides a system and method for a user of a mobile computing device to input special characters using a modifier key on a keyboard. |

| | For each modifier record, the modifier's name is printed along with a list of scan codes, in hexadecimal format, which generate that modifier value. | | | Each `key' token in this file defines the position and shape of the key on the keyboard, as well as the associated scan code which that key generates. | | | For each record, the hexadecimal value of the hardware scan code is printed, followed by a list of modifier flag combinations and the actual characters generated by this scan code with and without modifiers applied. |

| | If we consider a secondary accel key key for Unix systems, we have to consider it is possibly already taken up by an Emacs key binding. | | | For other key combos be explicit: use "ctrl", "alt" and "shift" on Windows and Unix; use "meta", "alt" and "shift" in the Mac keybindings file. | | | For example, in Emacs Ctrl+A moves the caret to the beginning of a line, but in Mozilla, Accel+A is the select all command. |

| | This means that the only thing that emacs can reasonably interpret as a "meta" key is a key whose keysym is Meta_L or Meta_R, and which generates one of the modifier bits Mod1-Mod5. | | | If Meta and Mode_switch both generate the same modifier bit (which is an error), then we don't interpret that bit as Meta, because we can't make XLookupString() not interpret it as Mode_switch; and interpreting it as both would be totally wrong. | | | Naturally, the designers of the X spec didn't see fit to provide an obvious way to distinguish these cases. |
