[ Version ( since = "3.4" ) ]
public enum ModifierIntent

This enum is used with get_modifier_mask in order to determine what modifiers the currently used windowing system backend uses for particular purposes.

For example, on X11/Windows, the Control key is used for invoking menu shortcuts (accelerators), whereas on Apple computers it’s the Command key (which correspond to gdk_control_mask and gdk_mod2_mask, respectively).

Enum values:

  • CONTEXT_MENU - the modifier used to invoke context menus.
  • DEFAULT_MOD_MASK - The set of modifier masks accepted as modifiers in accelerators.
  • EXTEND_SELECTION - the modifier used to extend selections using `modifier`-click or `modifier`-cursor-key
  • MODIFY_SELECTION - the modifier used to modify selections, which in most cases means toggling the clicked item into or out of the selection.
  • NO_TEXT_INPUT - when any of these modifiers is pressed, the key event cannot produce a symbol directly.
  • PRIMARY_ACCELERATOR - the primary modifier used to invoke menu accelerators.
  • SHIFT_GROUP - the modifier that switches between keyboard groups (AltGr on X11/Windows and Option/Alt on OS X).
