GTK+ Custom Accelarator Groups

  • 772

I have successfully manage to add an accelerator to a menu item with the gtk_widget_add_accelerator() function.

What bothers me is how i can add a custom accelerator that widget.With the first command i can add a shortcut like "Ctrl + A"; but what happens if i want to use the "Up" arrow key or F1 as an accelerator?

    I managed to replace Ctrl + something with something itself.

    That can be done simply by setting the value of GdkModifierType, which is the second from last parameter,to zero.

    For instance:

    gtk_widget_add_accelerator(menu_item.fullscreen, "activate", accel_group, 
GDK_F11, 0, GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE);

    This will display F11 instead of Ctrl + F11.
