Detailed Description

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

Usually you won't need to create a Gtk::AccelGroup directly; instead, gtkmm automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus. Note that accelerators are different from mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu item for which they're a shortcut. 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 the Gtk::Label constructor. Menu items can have both accelerators and mnemonics, of course.

You can use Gtk::Window::get_accel_group() to get an accel group for that window, then use it with other widgets too.

		const Glib::RefPtr< Glib::Object > &	acceleratable,
		guint	accel_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accel_mods
	)

Finds the first accelerator in accel_group that matches accel_key and accel_mods, and activates it.

Parameters

accel_quark	The quark for the accelerator name.
acceleratable	The Object, usually a Gtk::Window, on which to activate the accelerator.
accel_key	Accelerator keyval from a key event.
accel_mods	Keyboard state mask from a key event.

Returns: true if an accelerator was activated and handled this keypress.

◆ activate() [2/2]

static bool Gtk::AccelGroup::activate	(	Gtk::Object&	object,
		guint	accel_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accel_mods
	)

static

Finds the first accelerator in any Gtk::AccelGroup attached to object that matches accel_key and accel_mods, and activates that accelerator.

Parameters

object	The Object, usually a Gtk::Window, on which to activate the accelerator.
accel_key	Accelerator keyval from a key event.
accel_mods	Keyboard state mask from a key event.

Returns: true if an accelerator was activated and handled this keypress.

◆ create()

static Glib::RefPtr<AccelGroup> Gtk::AccelGroup::create ( )

static

Creates a new Gtk::AccelGroup object.

Returns: A Glib::RefPtr<> to a newly created Gtk::AccelGroup object.

◆ disconnect_key()

bool Gtk::AccelGroup::disconnect_key	(	guint	accel_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accel_mods
	)

Removes an accelerator previously installed through connect().

Parameters

accel_key	Key value of the accelerator.
accel_mods	Modifier combination of the accelerator.

Returns: true if there was an accelerator which could be removed, false otherwise.

◆ get_default_mod_mask()

static Gdk::ModifierType Gtk::AccelGroup::get_default_mod_mask ( )

static

See set_default_mod_mask().

◆ get_is_locked()

bool Gtk::AccelGroup::get_is_locked ( ) const

Locks are added and removed using lock() and unlock().

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns: true if there are 1 or more locks on the accel_group, false otherwise.

◆ get_label()

static Glib::ustring Gtk::AccelGroup::get_label	(	guint	accelerator_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accelerator_mods
	)

static

Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask into a string which can be used to represent the accelerator to the user.

Since gtkmm 2.6:

Parameters

accelerator_key	Accelerator keyval.
accelerator_mods	Accelerator modifier mask.

Returns: A newly-allocated string representing the accelerator.

◆ get_modifier_mask()

Gdk::ModifierType Gtk::AccelGroup::get_modifier_mask ( ) const

Gets a Gdk::ModifierType representing the mask for this accel_group.

For example, Gdk::CONTROL_MASK, Gdk::SHIFT_MASK, etc.

Since gtkmm 2.14:

Returns: The modifier mask for this accel group.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::AccelGroup::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkAccelGroup* Gtk::AccelGroup::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkAccelGroup* Gtk::AccelGroup::gobj ( ) const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

◆ gobj_copy()

GtkAccelGroup* Gtk::AccelGroup::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ lock()

void Gtk::AccelGroup::lock ( )

Locks the given accelerator group.

Locking an acelerator group prevents the accelerators contained within it to be changed during runtime. Refer to Gtk::AccelMap::change_entry() about runtime accelerator changes.

If called more than once, accel_group remains locked until unlock() has been called an equivalent number of times.

◆ name()

static Glib::ustring Gtk::AccelGroup::name	(	guint	accelerator_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType	accelerator_mods
	)

static

Converts an accelerator keyval and modifier mask into a string parseable by parse().

For example, if you pass in 'q' and Gdk::CONTROL_MASK, it returns "& lt;Control& gt;q".

◆ on_accel_changed()

virtual void Gtk::AccelGroup::on_accel_changed	(	guint	keyval,
		Gdk::ModifierType	modifier,
		GClosure *	accel_closure
	)

protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_accel_changed().

◆ operator=()

AccelGroup& Gtk::AccelGroup::operator= ( AccelGroup&& src )

noexcept

◆ parse()

static void Gtk::AccelGroup::parse	(	const Glib::ustring &	accelerator,
		guint &	accelerator_key,
		Gdk::ModifierType&	accelerator_mods
	)

static

Parse the accelerator string.

Parameters

accelerator	See the Gtk::AccelKey constructor for the format.
accelerator_key	Output argument
accelerator_mods	Output argument

◆ property_is_locked()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< bool > Gtk::AccelGroup::property_is_locked ( ) const

Is the accel group locked.

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_modifier_mask()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Gdk::ModifierType > Gtk::AccelGroup::property_modifier_mask ( ) const

Modifier Mask.

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ set_default_mod_mask()

static void Gtk::AccelGroup::set_default_mod_mask ( Gdk::ModifierType default_mod_mask )

static

Sets the modifiers that will be considered significant for keyboard accelerators.

The default mod mask is Gdk::CONTROL_MASK | Gdk::SHIFT_MASK | Gdk::MOD1_MASK, that is, Control, Shift, and Alt. Other modifiers will ignored by default. You must include at least the three default modifiers in any value you pass to this function.

The default mod mask should be changed on application startup, before using any accelerator groups.

◆ signal_accel_activate()

Glib::SignalProxy< bool,const Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object>&,guint,Gdk::ModifierType > Gtk::AccelGroup::signal_accel_activate ( )

Slot Prototype:: bool on_my_accel_activate(const Glib::RefPtr<Glib::Object>& acceleratable, guint keyval, Gdk::ModifierType modifier)

Slot Prototype:: void on_my_accel_changed(guint keyval, Gdk::ModifierType modifier, GClosure* accel_closure)

Flags: Run First

◆ unlock()

void Gtk::AccelGroup::unlock ( )

Undoes the last call to lock() on this accel_group.

◆ valid()

static bool Gtk::AccelGroup::valid	(	guint	keyval,
		Gdk::ModifierType	modifiers
	)

static

Determines whether a given keyval and modifier mask constitute a valid keyboard accelerator.

For example, the 'a' keyval plus Gdk::CONTROL_MASK is valid - this is a "Ctrl+a" accelerator. But you can't, for instance, use the GDK_Control_L keyval as an accelerator.

Glib::RefPtr< Gtk::AccelGroup > wrap	(	GtkAccelGroup *	object,
		bool	take_copy = `false`
