XkbGetKeyTypesqueries the server for the desired types, waits for a reply, and returns the desired types in the xkb->map->types.If successful, it returns Success. XkbGetKeyTypesreturns BadAccess if the Xkb extension has not been properly initialized and BadValue if the combination of firstand numresults in numbers out of valid range.
