Description:

[ CCode ( type_id = "gtk_accel_group_get_type ()" ) ]
public class AccelGroup : Object

A AccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached to a toplevel Window (with add_accel_group).

Usually you won’t need to create a AccelGroup directly; instead, when using UIManager, GTK+ automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the ui manager’s AccelGroup.

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 Label.with_mnemonic. Menu items can have both accelerators and mnemonics, of course.

Namespace: Gtk

Package: gtk+-3.0

Properties:

public bool is_locked { get; }
public ModifierType modifier_mask { get; }

Static methods:

public static unowned AccelGroup? from_accel_closure (Closure closure)
Finds the AccelGroup to which closure is connected; see connect.

Creation methods:

public AccelGroup ()
Creates a new AccelGroup.

Methods:

public void @lock ()
Locks the given accelerator group.
public void @unlock ()
Undoes the last call to @lock on this this.
public bool activate (Quark accel_quark, Object acceleratable, uint accel_key, ModifierType accel_mods)
Finds the first accelerator in this that matches accel_key and accel_mods, and activates it.
public void connect (uint accel_key, ModifierType accel_mods, AccelFlags accel_flags, owned AccelGroupActivate closure)
Installs an accelerator in this group.
public void connect_by_path (string accel_path, owned AccelGroupActivate closure)
Installs an accelerator in this group, using an accelerator path to look up the appropriate key and modifiers (see add_entry).
public bool disconnect (Closure? closure)
Removes an accelerator previously installed through connect.
public bool disconnect_key (uint accel_key, ModifierType accel_mods)
Removes an accelerator previously installed through connect.
public AccelKey* find (AccelGroupFindFunc find_func)
Finds the first entry in an accelerator group for which find_func returns true and returns its AccelKey.
public bool get_is_locked ()
Locks are added and removed using @lock and @unlock.
public ModifierType get_modifier_mask ()
Gets a ModifierType representing the mask for this this.
public unowned AccelGroupEntry[]? query (uint accel_key, ModifierType accel_mods)
Queries an accelerator group for all entries matching accel_key and accel_mods.

Signals:

public signal bool accel_activate (Object acceleratable, uint keyval, ModifierType modifier)
The accel-activate signal is an implementation detail of AccelGroup and not meant to be used by applications.
public virtual signal void accel_changed (uint keyval, ModifierType modifier, Closure accel_closure)
The accel-changed signal is emitted when an entry is added to or removed from the accel group.
