# [EVENT FIELDS](#EVENT_FIELDS)

[*response\_type*](#response_type)

The type of this event, in this case *XCB\_KEY\_RELEASE*. This field is also present in the *xcb\_generic\_event\_t* and can be used to tell events apart from each other.

[*sequence*](#sequence)

The sequence number of the last request processed by the X11 server.

[*detail*](#detail)

The keycode (a number representing a physical key on the keyboard) of the key which was pressed.

[*time*](#time)

Time when the event was generated (in milliseconds).

[*root*](#root)

The root window of *child*.

[*event*](#event)

NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

[*child*](#child)

NOT YET DOCUMENTED.

[*root\_x*](#root_x)

The X coordinate of the pointer relative to the *root* window at the time of the event.

[*root\_y*](#root_y)

The Y coordinate of the pointer relative to the *root* window at the time of the event.

[*event\_x*](#event_x)

If *same\_screen* is true, this is the X coordinate relative to the *event* window's origin. Otherwise, *event\_x* will be set to zero.

[*event\_y*](#event_y)

If *same\_screen* is true, this is the Y coordinate relative to the *event* window's origin. Otherwise, *event\_y* will be set to zero.

[*state*](#state)

The logical state of the pointer buttons and modifier keys just prior to the event.

[*same\_screen*](#same_screen)

Whether the *event* window is on the same screen as the *root* window.
