Please check references for gtk and gdk. I just did that and came with a simple example showing the keyBindings. Please note that it's not tested as I currently don't have gtk installed on my machine.
static gboolean keyBindings( GtkWidget *widget, GdkEvent *event, gpointer data ) { GtkWidget *popup; if (event->type != GDK_KEY_PRESS) return FALSE; // here crtl-x will popup a new window if (((GdkEventKey)event->keyval == GDK_x) && ((GdkEventKey)event->state & GDK_CONTROL_MASK)) { popup = gtk_window_new(GTK_WINDOW_POPUP); gtk_widget_show (window); } // more keyBindings can be checked return TRUE; } int main( int argc, char *argv[] ) { GtkWidget *window; gtk_init (&argc, &argv); window = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL); g_signal_connect (window, "key_press_event", G_CALLBACK (keyBindings), NULL); gtk_widget_show (window); gtk_main(); return 0; } Dong ________________________________ From: Neil Munro <neilmu...@gmail.com> To: gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org Sent: Monday, October 17, 2011 11:43 AM Subject: Re: Keybindings On 17 October 2011 15:54, Dong Luo <us...@yahoo.com> wrote: Hi, > > >I did not use gtk recently.
