Description Eric Gregory 2013-05-07 23:14:34 UTC 
Glade has an issue where it's not possible to bind to the Primary key (i.e. the magic keybinding that switches between Ctrl and Command.)  This is ticketed at #697687

Glade rockstar Tristan confirms that this needs to be fixed in GtkBuilder before it can be fixed in Glade.  For Tristan's thoughts, check this post on the mailing list:
http://lists.ximian.com/pipermail/glade-users/2013-May/005631.html

IMO the nicest way to solve this would be to allow symbolic key names in the XML.  That way it's a little more readable, and the code for interpreting symbolic key bindings can be reused here.
