I've got a GTK/GDK docked window that I need to give keyboard focus to, so accelerator keys (shortcuts) work. Does anybody know if GNOME even allows a docked window to have keyboard focus, and if so, how can I enable it?

Thanks, Mike

  • Could you provide some source code? – el.pescado - нет войне Dec 22 '09 at 13:05
  • Unfortunately, I really can't. However, the code is fairly simple, it's just making a GDK window docked. This in turn makes the window unable to recieve (maintain?) keyboard focus. I mainly want this so shortcuts like Ctrl-J are picked up. I also put a GTK text input box in the window for testing, and I'm unable type anything into it, so there is simply no keyboard focus whatsoever. – mike Jan 04 '10 at 15:16

Have you tried gtk_widget_grab_focus (), and set GTK_CAN_FOCUS flag on dock widget?
