Every event has an event type, which classifies the event for key binding purposes. For a keyboard event, the event type equals the event value; thus, the event type for a character is the character, and the event type for a function key symbol is the symbol itself. For events that are lists, the event type is the symbol in the CAR of the list. Thus, the event type is always a symbol or a character.
Two events of the same type are equivalent where key bindings are concerned; thus, they always run the same command. That does not necessarily mean they do the same things, however, as some commands look at the whole event to decide what to do. For example, some commands use the location of a mouse event to decide where in the buffer to act.
Sometimes broader classifications of events are useful. For example, you might want to ask whether an event involved the <META> key, regardless of which other key or mouse button was used.
The functions event-modifiers and event-basic-type are 
provided to get such information conveniently.
This function returns a list of the modifiers that event has.  The 
modifiers are symbols; they include shift, control, 
meta, alt, hyper and super.  In addition, the 
modifiers list of a mouse event symbol always contains one of click, 
drag, and down.  For double or triple events, it also contains 
double or triple.
The argument event may be an entire event object, or just an event 
type.  If event is a symbol that has never been used in an event that 
has been read as input in the current Emacs session, then 
event-modifiers can return nil, even when event actually 
has modifiers.
Here are some examples:
| (event-modifiers ?a)
     ⇒ nil
(event-modifiers ?A)
     ⇒ (shift)
(event-modifiers ?\C-a)
     ⇒ (control)
(event-modifiers ?\C-%)
     ⇒ (control)
(event-modifiers ?\C-\S-a)
     ⇒ (control shift)
(event-modifiers 'f5)
     ⇒ nil
(event-modifiers 's-f5)
     ⇒ (super)
(event-modifiers 'M-S-f5)
     ⇒ (meta shift)
(event-modifiers 'mouse-1)
     ⇒ (click)
(event-modifiers 'down-mouse-1)
     ⇒ (down)
 | 
The modifiers list for a click event explicitly contains click, but 
the event symbol name itself does not contain ‘click’.
This function returns the key or mouse button that event describes, 
with all modifiers removed.  The event argument is as in 
event-modifiers.  For example:
| (event-basic-type ?a)
     ⇒ 97
(event-basic-type ?A)
     ⇒ 97
(event-basic-type ?\C-a)
     ⇒ 97
(event-basic-type ?\C-\S-a)
     ⇒ 97
(event-basic-type 'f5)
     ⇒ f5
(event-basic-type 's-f5)
     ⇒ f5
(event-basic-type 'M-S-f5)
     ⇒ f5
(event-basic-type 'down-mouse-1)
     ⇒ mouse-1
 | 
This function returns non-nil if object is a mouse movement 
event.
This function converts a list of modifier names and a basic event type to an event type which specifies all of them. The basic event type must be the last element of the list. For example,
| (event-convert-list '(control ?a))
     ⇒ 1
(event-convert-list '(control meta ?a))
     ⇒ -134217727
(event-convert-list '(control super f1))
     ⇒ C-s-f1
