GtkAccelMapForeach ()

void                (*GtkAccelMapForeach)               (gpointer data,
                                                         const gchar *accel_path,
                                                         guint accel_key,
                                                         GdkModifierType accel_mods,
                                                         gboolean changed);

gtk_accel_map_add_entry ()

void                gtk_accel_map_add_entry             (const gchar *accel_path,
                                                         guint accel_key,
                                                         GdkModifierType accel_mods);

Registers a new accelerator with the global accelerator map. This function should only be called once per accel_path with the canonical accel_key and accel_mods for this path. To change the accelerator during runtime programatically, use gtk_accel_map_change_entry(). The accelerator path must consist of "<WINDOWTYPE>/Category1/Category2/.../Action", where <WINDOWTYPE> should be a unique application-specific identifier, that corresponds to the kind of window the accelerator is being used in, e.g. "Gimp-Image", "Abiword-Document" or "Gnumeric-Settings". The Category1/.../Action portion is most appropriately chosen by the action the accelerator triggers, i.e. for accelerators on menu items, choose the item's menu path, e.g. "File/Save As", "Image/View/Zoom" or "Edit/Select All". So a full valid accelerator path may look like: "<Gimp-Toolbox>/File/Dialogs/Tool Options...".

Note that accel_path string will be stored in a GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with g_intern_static_string().

gtk_accel_map_lookup_entry ()

gboolean            gtk_accel_map_lookup_entry          (const gchar *accel_path,
                                                         GtkAccelKey *key);

Looks up the accelerator entry for accel_path and fills in key.

gtk_accel_map_change_entry ()

gboolean            gtk_accel_map_change_entry          (const gchar *accel_path,
                                                         guint accel_key,
                                                         GdkModifierType accel_mods,
                                                         gboolean replace);

Changes the accel_key and accel_mods currently associated with accel_path. Due to conflicts with other accelerators, a change may not always be possible, replace indicates whether other accelerators may be deleted to resolve such conflicts. A change will only occur if all conflicts could be resolved (which might not be the case if conflicting accelerators are locked). Successful changes are indicated by a TRUE return value.

Note that accel_path string will be stored in a GQuark. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with g_intern_static_string().

gtk_accel_map_load

#define gtk_accel_map_load gtk_accel_map_load_utf8

Parses a file previously saved with gtk_accel_map_save() for accelerator specifications, and propagates them accordingly.

gtk_accel_map_save

#define gtk_accel_map_save gtk_accel_map_save_utf8

Saves current accelerator specifications (accelerator path, key and modifiers) to file_name. The file is written in a format suitable to be read back in by gtk_accel_map_load().

gtk_accel_map_foreach ()

void                gtk_accel_map_foreach               (gpointer data,
                                                         GtkAccelMapForeach foreach_func);

Loops over the entries in the accelerator map whose accel path doesn't match any of the filters added with gtk_accel_map_add_filter(), and execute foreach_func on each. The signature of foreach_func is that of GtkAccelMapForeach, the changed parameter indicates whether this accelerator was changed during runtime (thus, would need saving during an accelerator map dump).

gtk_accel_map_load_fd ()

void                gtk_accel_map_load_fd               (gint fd);

Filedescriptor variant of gtk_accel_map_load().

Note that the file descriptor will not be closed by this function.

gtk_accel_map_save_fd ()

void                gtk_accel_map_save_fd               (gint fd);

Filedescriptor variant of gtk_accel_map_save().

Note that the file descriptor will not be closed by this function.

gtk_accel_map_load_scanner ()

void                gtk_accel_map_load_scanner          (GScanner *scanner);

GScanner variant of gtk_accel_map_load().

gtk_accel_map_add_filter ()

void                gtk_accel_map_add_filter            (const gchar *filter_pattern);

Adds a filter to the global list of accel path filters.

Accel map entries whose accel path matches one of the filters are skipped by gtk_accel_map_foreach().

This function is intended for GTK+ modules that create their own menus, but don't want them to be saved into the applications accelerator map dump.

gtk_accel_map_foreach_unfiltered ()

void                gtk_accel_map_foreach_unfiltered    (gpointer data,
                                                         GtkAccelMapForeach foreach_func);

Loops over all entries in the accelerator map, and execute foreach_func on each. The signature of foreach_func is that of GtkAccelMapForeach, the changed parameter indicates whether this accelerator was changed during runtime (thus, would need saving during an accelerator map dump).

gtk_accel_map_get ()

GtkAccelMap *       gtk_accel_map_get                   (void);

Gets the singleton global GtkAccelMap object. This object is useful only for notification of changes to the accelerator map via the ::changed signal; it isn't a parameter to the other accelerator map functions.

Since 2.4

gtk_accel_map_lock_path ()

void                gtk_accel_map_lock_path             (const gchar *accel_path);

Locks the given accelerator path. If the accelerator map doesn't yet contain an entry for accel_path, a new one is created.

Locking an accelerator path prevents its accelerator from being changed during runtime. A locked accelerator path can be unlocked by gtk_accel_map_unlock_path(). Refer to gtk_accel_map_change_entry() for information about runtime accelerator changes.

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

Note that locking of individual accelerator paths is independent from locking the GtkAccelGroup containing them. For runtime accelerator changes to be possible both the accelerator path and its GtkAccelGroup have to be unlocked.

Since 2.4

gtk_accel_map_unlock_path ()

void                gtk_accel_map_unlock_path           (const gchar *accel_path);

Undoes the last call to gtk_accel_map_lock_path() on this accel_path. Refer to gtk_accel_map_lock_path() for information about accelerator path locking.

Since 2.4

The "changed" signal

void                user_function                      (GtkAccelMap    *object,
                                                        gchar          *accel_path,
                                                        guint           accel_key,
                                                        GdkModifierType accel_mods,
                                                        gpointer        user_data)       : Has Details

Notifies of a change in the global accelerator map. The path is also used as the detail for the signal, so it is possible to connect to changed::accel_path.
