ShortcutsShortcut.accelerator

string accelerator() @property

Get accelerator property.

Returns

The accelerator(s) represented by this object. This property is used

if #GtkShortcutsShortcut:shortcut-type is set to #GTK_SHORTCUT_ACCELERATOR.

The syntax of this property is (an extension of) the syntax understood by [gtk.global.acceleratorParse]. Multiple accelerators can be specified by separating them with a space, but keep in mind that the available width is limited. It is also possible to specify ranges of shortcuts, using `...` between the keys. Sequences of keys can be specified using a `+` or `&` between the keys.

Examples

* A single shortcut: <ctl><alt>delete
  • Two alternative shortcuts: <shift>a Home
  • A range of shortcuts: <alt>1...<alt>9
  • Several keys pressed together: Control_L&Control_R
  • A sequence of shortcuts or keys: <ctl>c+<ctl>x

Use + instead of & when the keys may (or have to be) pressed sequentially (e.g use t+t for 'press the t key twice').

Note that `<`, `>` and `&` need to be escaped as <, > and & when used in .ui files.

void accelerator(string propval) @property

Set accelerator property.
