A GtkAccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators,
typically attached to a toplevel GtkWindow (with
gtk_window_add_accel_group()
). Usually you won't need to create a
GtkAccelGroup directly; instead, when using GtkItemFactory, GTK+
automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the item
factory's GtkAccelGroup.
Note that accelerators are different from
mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for
activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu item they're 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
gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic()
. Menu items can have both accelerators
and mnemonics, of course.
typedef struct _GtkAccelGroup GtkAccelGroup;
An object representing and maintaining a group of accelerators.
GtkAccelGroup* gtk_accel_group_new (void);
Creates a new GtkAccelGroup.
Returns : | a new GtkAccelGroup object |
#define gtk_accel_group_ref g_object_ref
gtk_accel_group_ref
is deprecated and should not be used in newly-written code.
Deprecated equivalent of g_object_ref()
.
Returns : | the accel group that was passed in |
#define gtk_accel_group_unref g_object_unref
gtk_accel_group_unref

void gtk_accel_group_connect (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group, guint accel_key, GdkModifierType accel_mods, GtkAccelFlags accel_flags, GClosure *closure);
Installs an accelerator in this group. When accel_group
is being activated
in response to a call to gtk_accel_groups_activate()
, closure
will be
invoked if the accel_key
and accel_mods
from gtk_accel_groups_activate()
match those of this connection.
The signature used for the closure
is that of GtkAccelGroupActivate.
Note that, due to implementation details, a single closure can only be connected to one accelerator group.
accel_group : |
the accelerator group to install an accelerator in |
accel_key : |
key value of the accelerator |
accel_mods : |
modifier combination of the accelerator |
accel_flags : |

closure : |
closure to be executed upon accelerator activation |
void gtk_accel_group_connect_by_path (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group, const gchar *accel_path, GClosure *closure);
Installs an accelerator in this group, using an accelerator path to look
up the appropriate key and modifiers (see gtk_accel_map_add_entry()
).
When accel_group
is being activated in response to a call to
gtk_accel_groups_activate()
, closure
will be invoked if the accel_key
and
accel_mods
from gtk_accel_groups_activate()
match the key and modifiers
for the path.
The signature used for the closure
is that of GtkAccelGroupActivate.

void gtk_accel_group_lock (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group);
Locks the given accelerator group.
Locking an acelerator group prevents the accelerators contained
within it to be changed during runtime. Refer to
gtk_accel_map_change_entry()
about runtime accelerator changes.
If called more than once, accel_group
remains locked until
gtk_accel_group_unlock()
has been called an equivalent number
of times.

Undoes the last call to gtk_accel_group_lock()
on this accel_group
.
accel_group : |
a GtkAccelGroup |
GtkAccelGroup* gtk_accel_group_from_accel_closure (GClosure *closure);
Finds the GtkAccelGroup to which closure
is connected;
see gtk_accel_group_connect()
.

a GClosure |
Returns : | the GtkAccelGroup to which closure is connected, or NULL .
|
gboolean gtk_accel_groups_activate (GObject *object, guint accel_key, GdkModifierType accel_mods);
Finds the first accelerator in any GtkAccelGroup attached
to object
that matches accel_key
and accel_mods
, and
activates that accelerator.
If an accelerator was activated and handled this keypress, TRUE
is returned.
object : |
the GObject, usually a GtkWindow, on which to activate the accelerator. |
accel_key : |
accelerator keyval from a key event |
accel_mods : |
keyboard state mask from a key event |
Returns : | TRUE if the accelerator was handled, FALSE otherwise

GSList* gtk_accel_groups_from_object (GObject *object);
Gets a list of all accel groups which are attached to object
.
object : |
a GObject, usually a GtkWindow |
Returns : | a list of all accel groups which are attached to object
|
GtkAccelKey* gtk_accel_group_find (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group, GtkAccelGroupFindFunc find_func, gpointer data);
Finds the first entry in an accelerator group for which
find_func
returns TRUE
and returns its GtkAccelKey.

typedef struct { guint accel_key; GdkModifierType accel_mods; guint accel_flags : 16; } GtkAccelKey;
gboolean gtk_accelerator_valid (guint keyval, GdkModifierType modifiers);
Determines whether a given keyval and modifier mask constitute a valid keyboard accelerator. For example, the GDK_a keyval plus GDK_CONTROL_MASK is valid - this is a "Ctrl+a" accelerator. But, you can't, for instance, use the GDK_Control_L keyval as an accelerator.
keyval : |
a GDK keyval |
modifiers : |
modifier mask |
Returns : | TRUE if the accelerator is valid
|
void gtk_accelerator_parse (const gchar *accelerator, guint *accelerator_key, GdkModifierType *accelerator_mods);
Parses a string representing an accelerator. The format looks like "<Control>a" or "<Shift><Alt>F1" or "<Release>z" (the last one is for key release). The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as "<Ctl>" and "<Ctrl>".
If the parse fails, accelerator_key
and accelerator_mods
will
be set to 0 (zero).
accelerator : |
string representing an accelerator |
accelerator_key : |
return location for accelerator keyval |
accelerator_mods : |
return location for accelerator modifier mask |
gchar* gtk_accelerator_name (guint accelerator_key, GdkModifierType accelerator_mods);
Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask
into a string parseable by gtk_accelerator_parse()
.
For example, if you pass in GDK_q and GDK_CONTROL_MASK,
this function returns "<Control>q".
If you need to display accelerators in the user interface,
see gtk_accelerator_get_label()
.
accelerator_key : |
accelerator keyval |
accelerator_mods : |
accelerator modifier mask |
Returns : | a newly-allocated accelerator name |
gchar* gtk_accelerator_get_label (guint accelerator_key, GdkModifierType accelerator_mods);
Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask into a string which can be used to represent the accelerator to the user.
accelerator_key : |
accelerator keyval |
accelerator_mods : |
accelerator modifier mask |
Returns : | a newly-allocated string representing the accelerator. |
Since 2.6
void gtk_accelerator_set_default_mod_mask (GdkModifierType default_mod_mask);
Sets the modifiers that will be considered significant for keyboard accelerators. The default mod mask is GDK_CONTROL_MASK | GDK_SHIFT_MASK | GDK_MOD1_MASK | GDK_SUPER_MASK | GDK_HYPER_MASK | GDK_META_MASK, that is, Control, Shift, Alt, Super, Hyper and Meta. Other modifiers will by default be ignored by GtkAccelGroup. You must include at least the three modifiers Control, Shift and Alt in any value you pass to this function.
The default mod mask should be changed on application startup, before using any accelerator groups.
default_mod_mask : |
accelerator modifier mask |
guint gtk_accelerator_get_default_mod_mask (void);
Gets the value set by gtk_accelerator_set_default_mod_mask()
.
Returns : | the default accelerator modifier mask |
gboolean user_function (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group, GObject *acceleratable, guint keyval, GdkModifierType modifier, gpointer user_data) : Has Details
The accel-activate signal is an implementation detail of GtkAccelGroup and not meant to be used by applications.
accel_group : |
the GtkAccelGroup which received the signal |
acceleratable : |
the object on which the accelerator was activated |
keyval : |
the accelerator keyval |
modifier : |
the modifier combination of the accelerator |
user_data : |

Returns : | TRUE if the accelerator was activated
|
void user_function (GtkAccelGroup *accel_group, guint keyval, GdkModifierType modifier, GClosure *accel_closure, gpointer user_data) : Run First / Has Details
The accel-changed signal is emitted when a GtkAccelGroupEntry is added to or removed from the accel group.
Widgets like GtkAccelLabel which display an associated
accelerator should connect to this signal, and rebuild
their visual representation if the accel_closure
is theirs.

keyval : |
the accelerator keyval |
modifier : |
the modifier combination of the accelerator |
accel_closure : |

user data set when the signal handler was connected. |
