Re: Entry widget and default OK button

[Andrew Wood <ivarch cus umist ac uk>]

I don't know how you do this in Guile, but in C the code (generated by
Glade) looks like this:

  accel_group = gtk_accel_group_new ();

  gtk_widget_add_accelerator (button1, "clicked", accel_group,
                              GDK_Return, 0,
                              GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLE);

  gtk_window_add_accel_group (GTK_WINDOW (window1), accel_group);

... where "button1" is an "OK" button packed inside a window, "window1". So,
when Return is pressed, the button acts as though it had been clicked.

Hope this helps.
