that for the units menu. It looks like menus font sizes are not settable. Any insights from gtk experts? Because of the too-large units menu, the aux toolbar jumps up and down a bit when you switch tools.
You need to set the font size for each menuitem. The OptionMenu just sizes to fit its menuitems.
- How to change the right-click menu of the spinbutton? If nothing else I'd
like to remove its input methods and unicode submenus - they are unnecessary and very confusing for an average user. Perhaps it would make sense to move the units menu into each spinbutton's right-click menu, instead of having it as a separate menu - what do you think?
Mmm, I think the units menu works best as an optionmenu.
As for changing the context menus for spinbuttons, at worst I guess you can add signal handlers for the "button-press-event" and "button-release-event" signals and trap right clicks that way.
I still have mixed feelings about removing the standard context menus, though :/
- I want Esc inside the spinbutton to defocus it. Now Enter applies the
value and defocuses, but this is only because it's hard-coded into the spinbutton to "activate" it and I added defocusing to the value-changed callback. However I don't see how I can change the keybindings within a spinbutton to enable Esc to do what I want. Is this possible at all?
Yes; connect to the widget's "key-press-event" and "key-release-event" signals to trap keypresses.
