gtkWidgetSetAccelPath {RGtk2} | R Documentation

## gtkWidgetSetAccelPath

### Description

Given an accelerator group, `accel.group`, and an accelerator path, `accel.path`, sets up an accelerator in `accel.group` so whenever the key binding that is defined for `accel.path` is pressed, `widget` will be activated. This removes any accelerators (for any accelerator group) installed by previous calls to `gtkWidgetSetAccelPath`. Associating accelerators with paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications to be saved for future use. (See `gtkAccelMapSave`.)

### Usage

    gtkWidgetSetAccelPath(object, accel.path, accel.group)

### Arguments

``object`` | a `GtkWidget`
``accel.path`` | path used to look up the accelerator. [ allow-none ]
``accel.group`` | a `GtkAccelGroup`. [ allow-none ]

### Details

This function is a low level function that would most likely be used by a menu creation system like `GtkUIManager`. If you use `GtkUIManager`, setting up accelerator paths will be done automatically.

Even when you you aren't using `GtkUIManager`, if you only want to set up accelerators on menu items `gtkMenuItemSetAccelPath` provides a somewhat more convenient interface.

Note that `accel.path` string will be stored in a `GQuark`. Therefore, if you pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with `gInternStaticString()`.
