A gtk:accel-group object represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached to a toplevel gtk:window widget with the gtk:window-add-accel-group function. Usually you will not need to create a gtk:accel-group object directly. Instead, when using the gtk:ui-manager class, GTK automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the gtk:accel-group object of the UI manager.

Note that accelerators are different from mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for activating a menu item. They appear alongside the menu item they are a shortcut for. For example Ctrl+Q might appear alongside the "Quit" menu item. Mnemonics are shortcuts for GUI elements such as text entries or buttons. They appear as underlined characters, see the gtk:label-new-with-mnemonic function. Menu items can have both accelerators and mnemonics, of course.

The "accel-activate" signal

lambda (group acceleratable keyval modifier)    :detailed      

The signal is an implementation detail of the gtk:accel-group class and not meant to be used by applications.

group

The gtk:accel-group object which received the signal.

acceleratable

The g:object object on which the accelerator was activated.

keyval

An unsigned integer with the accelerator keyval.

modifier

The gdk:modifier-type modifier combination of the accelerator.

Returns

True if the accelerator was activated.

The "accel-changed" signal

lambda (group keyval modifier func)    :detailed      

The signal is emitted when an entry is added to or removed from the accelerator group. Widgets like the gtk:accel-label widget which display an associated accelerator should connect to this signal, and rebuild their visual representation if func is theirs.

group

The gtk:accel-group object which received the signal.

keyval

An unsigned integer with the accelerator keyval.

modifier

The gdk:modifier-type modifier combination of the accelerator.

func

The g:closure callback function of the accelerator.
