Re: [anjuta-devel] Error while compiling Anjuta source

[Kriti Kansal <kriti2kansal gmail com>]

Hi,

I have written a G_CALLBACK function using the approach given by you.
But the problem is that the Terminal does not even detect the signal
"Alt+E". While Debugging I found out that on pressing the keys "Alt+E"
the program does not execute the G_CALLBACK function. Currently this
is what I have added inside the GtkActionsEntry actions_terminal:

{
        "ActionCommandToTerminal-ALTE"
,
        NULL,
        N_("Alt-E"),
        "<Alt>E",
        NULL,
        G_CALLBACK (on_terminal_shift)
   },

and I have simply written a print statement inside the
on_terminal_shift function for debugging purpose. But when I press the
key, it does not execute the print statement.

Is something else also required to be written for keypress event
detection apart from adding an entry inside the GtkActionsEntry
actions_terminal?

Thanks and Regards,
Kriti
