Re: [gedit-list] how to code shortcuts in plugins?

[Jesse van den Kieboom <jesse icecrew nl>]

Hi John,

If you followed the howto on lgo, then you probably have something like
this in your code to create an action for your menu:

-- From lgo tutorial
self._action_group.add_actions([("ExamplePy", None, _("Clear document"),
                                 None, _("Clear the document"),
                                 self.on_clear_document_activate)])

The second None in this code snippet is the accelerator (shortcut key) 
by which the action can be activated. You can supply something like "<Control>h"
in there (see gtk_accelerator_parse).

To add something to the right-click menu, you can use the 'populate-popup' signal
of the gedit.Document. You need to connect to this signal for every document (mind, you
then also need to watch the window to correctly add/remove the signal when a tab goes
away).
