Keyboard-related events are handled by GdkEventKey structures, which
inter alia provide a keyval, which is an unsigned integer.
<gdk/gdkkeysyms.h> contains the relevant #defines. If you also want to
check which modifiers were pressed (shift, alt etc.) you'll have to
query the state member in the GdkEventKey struct.
