guile-gi: scancode->keyval?

[Jan Nieuwenhuizen]

Hi Mike,

I've update the Guix package and started using (send event
(get-scancode)), which works great.  However, scancodes are somewhat
inconvenient, iwbn to get the keyval or character through
gdk-keyval-to-unicode.

I would expect `get-keyval' and `get-keycode' methods on event but only
found predicate-like variants:

   (send event (get-keyval?)) => (#t 0)
   (send event (get-keycode?)) => (#t 0)

Hmm.

Then I went to look for a more low level function using the Keymap

    (let ((keymap (Keymap-get-default)))

also works and then I'm lost again...something like this might work

    (send keymap (translate-keyboard-state? scancode MODIFIER_TYPE_SHIFT_MASK 
MODIFIER_TYPE_SHIFT_MASK))

=>

    GuileGI:ERROR:gi_giargument.c:1665:convert_interface_arg_to_object: 
assertion failed: (type_tag == GI_TYPE_TAG_INTERFACE)

Can you help me with this?

Greetings,
janneke
