# SDL_SetModState

Set the current key modifier state for the keyboard.

## Header File

Defined in [SDL_keyboard.h](https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/blob/main/include/SDL3/SDL_keyboard.h), but apps should use `#include <SDL3/SDL.h>`

## Syntax

```c
void SDL_SetModState(SDL_Keymod modstate);

```

## Function Parameters

|                  |                                                       |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| **modstate**     | the desired [SDL_Keymod](SDL_Keymod) for the keyboard |

## Remarks

The inverse of [SDL_GetModState](SDL_GetModState)(),
[SDL_SetModState](SDL_SetModState)() allows you to impose modifier key
states on your application. Simply pass your desired modifier states into
`modstate`. This value may be a bitwise, OR'd combination of
[SDL_Keymod](SDL_Keymod) values.

This does not change the keyboard state, only the key modifier flags that
SDL reports.

## Version

This function is available since SDL 3.0.0.
