though i wrote this out of my head, i'm pretty surte it'll work ;)

gint
my_handler (GtkEntry *entry,
            GdkEventKey *event,
            gpointer user_data)
{
  switch (event->keyval)
  {
    gint pos;
    
  case  GDK_F10:
    pos = GTK_EDITABLE(entry)->current_pos;
    gtk_editable_insert_text (GTK_EDITABLE (entry), "my macro", 8, &pos);
    return TRUE;
  
  default:
    return FALSE;
  }
}


and upon entry creation you do:

gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT (entry),
		    "key_press_event",
		    GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (my_handler),
		    NULL);
