Re: Pass keystrokes to other window

[Santiago Capel Torres <bluefish ono com>]

Thank you.

I am sure that the windows are not the same, in fact one is the parent of
the other. It is working fine now ;-)

I have made another "hack" with the events to achieve the same efect with
the TAB key than with the SPACE key in a Clist. In the key_press_event, I
have made:

    if( event->keyval == GDK_Tab ) {
        event->keyval = GDK_space
        return FALSE;
    }

and it works perfectly.

Does anybody knows how to make this in another way?
