Re: GtkShortcutsWindow how to

['-' <makepost firemail cc>]

Hello,

See object hierarchy on the documentation page. GtkShortcutsWindow
inherits from GtkContainer, suggesting you treat it like a regular box.
UI data files are good for examples, because you immediately see the
widget hierarchy, which can be hard to follow in flat code. Here is
how you can "translate" a part of the example shortcuts window UI:

```javascript
#!/usr/bin/gjs

const {
  Application,
  ShortcutsGroup,
  ShortcutsSection,
  ShortcutsShortcut,
  ShortcutsWindow
} = imports.gi.Gtk;

imports.gi.Gtk.init(null);

const application = new Application();

/** @type {ApplicationWindow} */
let win;

application.connect("startup", () => {
  win = new ShortcutsWindow({ application });

  const editor = new ShortcutsSection();
  editor.title = "Editor shortcuts"; // Used in header.
  editor.visible = true; // Seems required here.
  win.add(editor);

  const doc = new ShortcutsGroup();
  doc.title = "Document";
  editor.add(doc);

  const create = new ShortcutsShortcut();
  create.accelerator = "<ctrl>n";
  create.title = "Create new document";
  doc.add(create);

  const open = new ShortcutsShortcut();
  open.accelerator = "<ctrl>o";
  open.title = "Open a document";
  doc.add(open);
});

application.connect("activate", () => {
  win.show_all();
});

application.run(ARGV);
```

I don't know though, how to get search to work in this. Please share the
setup if you succesfully implement it in your window!

Cheers,
