get_key_binding


Description:

public string get_key_binding (int i) throws Error

Get the keybindings for the i-th action invocable on an object implementing Action, if any are defined.

The keybindings string format is as follows: there are multiple parts to a keybinding string (typically 3). They are delimited with ";". The first is the action's keybinding which is usable if the object implementing the action is currently posted to the screen, e.g. if a menu is posted then these keybindings for the corresponding menu-items are available. The second keybinding substring is the full key sequence necessary to post the action's widget and activate it, e.g. for a menu item such as "File->Open" it would both post the menu and activate the item. Thus the second keybinding string is available during the lifetime of the containing toplevel window as a whole, whereas the first keybinding string only works while the object implementing AtkAction is posted. The third (and optional) keybinding string is the "keyboard shortcut" which invokes the action without posting any menus. Meta-keys are indicated by the conventional strings "<Control>", "<Alt>", "<Shift>", "<Mod2>", etc. (we use the same string as gtk_accelerator_name in gtk+-2.X.

Parameters:

this

a pointer to the Action implementor to query.

i

an integer indicating which action to query.

Returns:

a UTF-8 string which can be parsed to determine the i-th invocable action's keybindings.
