Hello, I just want to reask a question that was asked on StackOverflow [1] but didn't receive a satisfactory answer there. Maybe someone on this list has a better idea: I want to use ordinary letters *without modifiers* as accelerators in my GTK+ 3 application, similar to vim's control scheme. For example, the user could just press 'r' and it would remove an item in a list or something like that. So far this works fine, except the accelerators are also enabled while the user has focused a text editing widget, and as a result it's impossible to write text without activating a dozen accelerators in the process. Is there a standard way to disable accelerators in text editing widgets? If not, what would you say is the best approach for a workaround? E.g. should I try to intercept key presses somehow and check whether a text editing widget is focused, or should I try to remove accelerators whenever such a widget is focused and add them again when it loses focus, or do something else entirely? I'm using GTK+ 3 and try to adhere to the "new" recommended way of handling menu items, accelerators and corresponding actions using Gio, i.e. the way it is described in [2]. Thank you in advance!
