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