ShortcutController
Object Hierarchy:
Description:
public class ShortcutController : EventController, ListModel, Buildable
ShortcutController is an event controller that manages shortcuts.
Most common shortcuts are using this controller implicitly, e.g. by adding a mnemonic underline to a Label, or by installing a key binding using add_binding, or by adding accelerators to global actions using set_accels_for_action.
But it is possible to create your own shortcut controller, and add shortcuts to it.
ShortcutController implements ListModel for querying the shortcuts that have been added to it.
GtkShortcutController as a GtkBuildable
GtkShortcutControllers can be creates in ui files to set up shortcuts in the same place as the widgets.
An example of a UI definition fragment with GtkShortcutController:
<object class='GtkButton'>
<child>
<object class='GtkShortcutController'>
<property name='scope'>managed</property>
<child>
<object class='GtkShortcut'>
<property name='trigger'>&lt;Control&gt;k</property>
<property name='action'>activate</property>
</object>
</child>
</object>
</child>
</object>
This example creates a ActivateAction for triggering the `activate` signal of the GtkButton. See parse_string for the syntax for other kinds of ShortcutAction. See parse_string to learn more about the syntax for triggers.
