patch to provide menmonics for Search/Contents tabs (704 bytes, patch)

Description Gustavo Noronha (kov) 2004-05-06 23:47:10 UTC 
This is one thing I miss a lot. There is no easy way to switch between the
Contents and Search tabs with the keyboard. I suggest something like the patch
attached.

According to the HIG you shouldn't use access keys for notebooks.

I suggest that this is done through the menu instead...

And by the way, did you try to use this patch before submitting it? If you add
mnemonics to labels you should use gtk_label_new_with_mnemonic ().

FWIW Ctrl+PageUp and PageDown ("standard" GtkNotebook bindings) sometimes work,
depending on where the focus is inside the notebook.  The treeview apparently
consumes the events so the tabs aren't switched.

I've added menu items with short-cuts for this, we can tweak the short-cuts if
necessary.
