    Hi,

I've got a few questions about key event handling.

First, it seems that pressing <Shift> key during a drag n drop prevent
it from being completed.
Why ?
Is there a way to avoid this ?

Second, I would like to use <del> and <backspace> keys as accelerators,
but I don't find the good accelerator string to use.
I tried :
actiongroup = gtk.ActionGroup('MyGroup')
actiongroup.add_actions([
            ('Delete'  , None, 'Delete selected' , '<del>', 'Delete
selected elements' , self.del),
            ...
        ])

but I got :
GtkWarning: Unable to parse accelerator '<del>' for action 'Del_All'

Is-there a list of admissible strings somewhere ?

Thanks
