## Description

## Functions

### KeybinderHandler ()

    void
    (*KeybinderHandler) (const char *keystring,
                         void *user_data);

### keybinder_init ()

    void
    keybinder_init (void);

Initialize the keybinder library.

This function must be called after initializing GTK, before calling any other function in the library. Can only be called once.

### keybinder_set_use_cooked_accelerators ()

    void
    keybinder_set_use_cooked_accelerators (gboolean use_cooked);

"Cooked" accelerators use symbols produced by using modifiers such as shift or altgr, for example if "!" is produced by "Shift+1".

If cooked accelerators are enabled, use "<Ctrl>exclam" to bind "Ctrl+!" If disabled, use "<Ctrl><Shift>1" to bind "Ctrl+Shift+1". These two examples are not equal on all keymaps.

The cooked accelerator keyvalue and modifiers are provided by the function `gdk_keymap_translate_keyboard_state()`

Cooked accelerators are useful if you receive keystrokes from GTK to bind, but raw accelerators can be useful if you or the user inputs accelerators as text.

Default: Enabled. Should be set before binding anything.

#### Parameters

use_cooked | if `FALSE` disable cooked accelerators |

### keybinder_bind ()

    gboolean
    keybinder_bind (const char *keystring,
                    KeybinderHandler handler,
                    void *user_data);

Grab a key combination globally and register a callback to be called each time the key combination is pressed.

This function is excluded from introspected bindings and is replaced by keybinder_bind_full.

[skip]

#### Parameters

keystring | an accelerator description (`gtk_accelerator_parse()` format) |
handler | callback function |
user_data | data to pass to `handler` |

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the accelerator could be grabbed

### keybinder_bind_full ()

    gboolean
    keybinder_bind_full (const char *keystring,
                         KeybinderHandler handler,
                         void *user_data,
                         GDestroyNotify notify);

Grab a key combination globally and register a callback to be called each time the key combination is pressed.

[rename-to keybinder_bind]

#### Parameters

keystring | an accelerator description (`gtk_accelerator_parse()` format) |
handler | callback function. | [scope notified]
user_data | data to pass to `handler` . | [closure][allow-none]
notify | called when `handler` is unregistered. | [allow-none]

#### Returns

`TRUE` if the accelerator could be grabbed

Since: 0.3.0

### keybinder_unbind ()

    void
    keybinder_unbind (const char *keystring,
                      KeybinderHandler handler);

Unregister a previously bound callback for this keystring.

NOTE: multiple callbacks per keystring are not properly supported. You might as well use `keybinder_unbind_all()`.

This function is excluded from introspected bindings and is replaced by `keybinder_unbind_all()`.

[skip]

#### Parameters

keystring | an accelerator description (`gtk_accelerator_parse()` format) |
handler | callback function |

### keybinder_unbind_all ()

    void
    keybinder_unbind_all (const char *keystring);

Unregister all previously bound callbacks for this keystring.

[rename-to keybinder_unbind]

#### Parameters

keystring | an accelerator description (`gtk_accelerator_parse()` format) |

Since: 0.3.0

### keybinder_get_current_event_time ()

    guint32
    keybinder_get_current_event_time (void);

#### Returns

the current event timestamp

### keybinder_supported ()

    gboolean
    keybinder_supported (void);

#### Returns

TRUE if keybindings are supported
