19 *
20 * Get information about the state of the keyboard's modifier keys.
21 *
22 * This class provides cross-platform information about the state of the
23 * keyboard's modifier keys and the mouse buttons and allows to change the
24 * state as well.
25 *
26 * It recognizes two states a key can be in:
27 * @li @em locked: eg. caps-locked (a.k.a. toggled)
28 * @li @em latched the key is temporarily locked but will be unlocked upon
29 * the next keypress.
30 *
31 * An application can either query the states synchronously (isKeyLatched(),
32 * isKeyLocked()) or connect to KModifierKeyInfo's signals to be notified about
33 * changes (keyLatched(), keyLocked()).
