Function
Gtkaccelerator_parse
Declaration [src]
gboolean
gtk_accelerator_parse (
  const char* accelerator,
  guint* accelerator_key,
  GdkModifierType* accelerator_mods
)
Description [src]
Parses a string representing an accelerator.
The format looks like “<Control>a” or “<Shift><Alt>F1”.
The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also
abbreviations such as “<Ctl>” and “<Ctrl>”.
Key names are parsed using gdk_keyval_from_name(). For character keys
the name is not the symbol, but the lowercase name, e.g. one would use
“<Ctrl>minus” instead of “<Ctrl>-”.
Modifiers are enclosed in angular brackets <>, and match the
GdkModifierType mask:
- <Shift>for- GDK_SHIFT_MASK
- <Ctrl>for- GDK_CONTROL_MASK
- <Alt>for- GDK_ALT_MASK
- <Meta>for- GDK_META_MASK
- <Super>for- GDK_SUPER_MASK
- <Hyper>for- GDK_HYPER_MASK
If the parse operation fails, accelerator_key and accelerator_mods will
be set to 0 (zero).
Parameters
| accelerator | const char* | 
| String representing an accelerator. | |
| The data is owned by the caller of the function. | |
| The value is a NUL terminated UTF-8 string. | |
| accelerator_key | guint* | 
| Return location for accelerator keyval. | |
| The argument will be set by the function. | |
| The argument can be NULL. | |
| accelerator_mods | GdkModifierType | 
| Return location for accelerator modifier mask. | |
| The argument will be set by the function. | |
| The argument can be NULL. | |
| The called function takes ownership of the data, and is responsible for freeing it. |
