Description Christophe Lambin 2002-02-23 12:44:13 UTC 
I've connected a GtkText instance's 'activate' signal to a callback function:

    gtk_signal_connect (GTK_OBJECT(body), "activate",
                        GTK_SIGNAL_FUNC (body_activate_cb), mw);

According to the documentation, this should only get called on
Control-Return.  However, the function is also called when a user hits
Control-Space.

If this is not a bug, is there any way of controlling which keys trigger the 
'activate' signal ?

What's happening is that Control-<Space> is not being handled
by the text widget so it gets propagated to toplevel, where
it (and Space unmodified) is a binding to activate the default
widget.

You can prevent this by gtk_signak_connect_after() to "key_press_event"
and returning TRUE for Control-Space.

(Won't happen in GTK+-1.3.x/GTK+-2.0 where the keybinding system
is very different, and GtkText has been replaced with GtkTextView)
