i think he means system wide, i wanted to do that in the past too and gtk seems to lack it. windows can qt maby too but gtk can atm there is a libhotkey for gtk but it's independent and not very active atm. so i think system wide hotkey registrations and management is something at least GTK 3 should so support!!! (so this is something for the gtk-devel list i think) i really like gtk am a gnome user (and started to like vala) but i do develop a lot of applications who need global hotkey registration and atm i can't do that with gtk so i might switch... boscowitch Am Samstag, den 04.12.2010, 10:00 -0700 schrieb richard boaz: > not entirely sure what you mean: global to your application, or global > to the window system? > > if you mean your application, then it's easy: > * make your top level window > * connect "key-press-event" signal to the top level window > * process the key press action in your registered callback > function > * done > richard > > On Sun, Nov 21, 2010 at 2:25 AM, Shuge Lee <shuge.lee@xxxxxxxxx> > wrote: > Hi all: > > > Any good idea about grab key global and works on Linux, Mac OS > X and Windows ? > > > XgrabKey seems not works well on Windows. > > -- > Shuge Lab.
