Perhaps answering my own question, I believe the reason it doesn't work is that gtk_window_key_release_event never even calls gtk_window_activate_key (the latter is required to trigger any registered accelerators). This is in contrast to gtk_window_key_press_event, which does call the activate routine. If this is correct, there is a bug in the documentation, since there would never be any point in using "<release>". Would it be possible for someone out there to confirm that I am reading the GTK+ source correctly? I will then look into how I would go about getting the documentation changed? On a slightly related note, even when using key press rather than key release, I discovered that the cursor keys cannot be used as accelerators. This is "documented" only in the source code, and attempting to assign them as accelerators fails completely silently (grrrr). -- Tony (echo 'spend!,pocket awide' | sed 'y/acdeikospntw!, /l...@omcgtjuba.phi/') _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
