mntnoe / keybinder Goto Github PK

This fork adds a quick hack to keybinder circumventing GTK3's default masking of the AltGr key as a modifier.

keybinder is a library for registering global keyboard shortcuts. Keybinder works with GTK-based applications using the X Window System.

The library contains:

• A C library, libkeybinder
• Gobject-Introspection (gir) generated bindings
• Lua bindings, lua-keybinder
• Python bindings, python-keybinder
• An examples directory with programs in C, Lua, Python and Vala.

The package keybinder compiles against GTK+ 2 while the package keybinder-3.0 compiles against GTK+ 3. The two packages can be installed in parallel.

Both packages support generating gobject-introspection (gir) bindings, even if these bindings are more relevant for the future, hence the GTK+ 3 package. For keybinder-3.0, the gir bindings are strongly

recommended over any other language bindings.

keybinder includes python-keybinder which are static python (PyGTK 2) bindings. If you don't have the neccessary dependencies, and don't want to build the python bindings, you have to explicitly disable them using the --disable-python option with configure.

keybinder and keybinder-3.0 include experimental static lua bindings. It is possible you need to tell configure where Lua includes are to be found using (adjusting the path appropriately):

./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lua5.1

If you want to compile with reduced library linking, configure using:

CC="cc -Wl,--as-needed" ./configure

• GTK+ 3.0 (keybinder-3.0) or GTK+ 2.20 (keybinder)
• gobject-introspection
• gtk-doc 1.14
• Python 2.5, pygobject 2.15.3, pygobject-codegen-2.0 for python-keybinder

This library originates in Tomboy and has been widely reused without having a separate release. This package has taken the python bindings from the Deskbar Applet project, and broken it out to a standalone project. The library was subsequently rewritten in major parts.
