newbie question. When the user presses a key (such as 'm') I want to drop down the file menu, but I can't figure out how to do this. I've tried using accelerator keys. They work great for activating menu items, but I couldn't get the file menu to drop down.
Use gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic():
menuitem_file = gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ("_File");
Then "Alt + f" should drop down your menu.
Using, gtk_menu_item_new_with_mnemonic ("Fi_le") , as example, the
trigger will be "Alt + l".
I mean, the underscore marks the character that used with the "Alt" key,
will drop down your menu.
