[Gtk2hs-users] Actions and Accelerators, Merging Definitions

[Hans v. T. <hth...@zo...>]

Hello All,

There is a function:

actionGroupAddActionWithAccel
:: ActionClass action

=> ActionGroup

-> action
action - the action to add
-> Maybe String
accelerator - the accelerator for
the action, in the format understood
by acceleratorParse, or "" for no
accelerator, or Nothing to use the
stock accelerator
-> IO ()



used for actions, accelerators and action groups. If I use Nothing,
however, the accelerator key for an action is displayed, but does not
appear to be active. If I use a string like (Just "<Control>e") for
example, again the correct key is displayed, but pressing that
combination has no effect.

In the Action Menu demo, included in Gtk2Hs 0.9.12, the accelerator keys
don't work either.

Could this be peculiar to my system (Fedora 6, i386), is this maybe not
implemented in Gtk2Hs yet, or am I just missing something? 

Secondly, it appears you can merge menus and toolbars together, and
unmerge them again, using the uiManager and XML definitions of the
parts. I haven't been able to find an example of this anywhere. Has
anybody actually done this? Any help appreciated..
