Class

Gtk.ShortcutAction

Description [src]

abstract class Gtk.ShortcutAction : GObject.Object {
  /* No available fields */
}

GtkShortcutAction encodes an action that can be triggered by a keyboard shortcut.

GtkShortcutActions contain functions that allow easy presentation to end users as well as being printed for debugging.

All GtkShortcutActions are immutable, you can only specify their properties during construction. If you want to change a action, you have to replace it with a new one. If you need to pass arguments to an action, these are specified by the higher-level GtkShortcut object.

To activate a GtkShortcutAction manually, gtk_shortcut_action_activate() can be called.

GTK provides various actions:

GtkMnemonicAction: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_mnemonic_activate()
GtkCallbackAction: a shortcut action that invokes a given callback
GtkSignalAction: a shortcut action that emits a given signal
GtkActivateAction: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_activate()
GtkNamedAction: a shortcut action that calls gtk_widget_activate_action()
GtkNothingAction: a shortcut action that does nothing
