acceleratorParse

fnvoid acceleratorParse(string accelerator, out uint acceleratorKey, out gdk.types.ModifierType acceleratorMods)

Parses a string representing an accelerator. The format looks like “<Control>a” or “<Shift><Alt>F1” or “<Release>z” (the last one is for key release).

The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as “<Ctl>” and “<Ctrl>”. Key names are parsed using [gdk.global.keyvalFromName]. For character keys the name is not the symbol, but the lowercase name, e.g. one would use “<Ctrl>minus” instead of “<Ctrl>-”.

If the parse fails, accelerator_key and accelerator_mods will be set to 0 (zero).

Parameters

acceleratorstring representing an accelerator
acceleratorKeyreturn location for accelerator keyval, or null
acceleratorModsreturn location for accelerator modifier mask, null
