[Gtk2hs-users] StateT IO Action with `onKeyPress`.

[Andy S. <laz...@gm...>]

Hi all,

I have a function named `keymapTest` need moand state WindowListT, and
WindowListT is `type WindowListT = StateT WindowList IO`.

when i add "(\event -> keymapTest winList event >> return False)" after
`onKeyPress` for handle key press event, i got GHC error:

------------------------------> error start <------------------------------
Manatee.hs:57:58:
    Couldn't match expected type `IO a'
           against inferred type `WindowListT Bool'
    In the first argument of `(>>)', namely `keymapTest winList event'
    In the expression: keymapTest winList event >> return False
    In the second argument of `onKeyPress', namely
        `(\ event -> keymapTest winList event >> return False)'
------------------------------> error end   <------------------------------

So function `onKeyPress` just accept *one* IO-action? 
Have a way to fix above problem?

Any help?

Thanks!
