No, it shouldn’t, at least not by default. How about you send the event as `user_data` to `soup_request_send()` (or whatever method you use) and send that to the webkit widget? > > I also tried to synthesize the key event from another callback started in a > g_idle_add() in the Soup callback, to no avail. > g_main_context_invoke() seems to make no difference. > > Thoughts? > > -- > Pierre Neidhardt > https://ambrevar.xyz/ -- You must believe in things that are not true. Otherwise, how will they become? _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
