[pygtk] Re: Handling Control - Shift Key Press Event

[Mystilleef]

Accelerator keys are case sensitive so:
    control - shift - s
becomes
    control - S

The correct code is as follows:

def key_press_event_cb(widget, event):
	from gtk.gdk import CONTROL_MASK, SHIFT_MASK
	if event.state & CONTROL_MASK and event.state & SHIFT_MASK:
		from gtk.gdk import keyval_name
		if keyval_name(event.keyval) == "S":
	 		print "You pressed control - shift - s"
			return True
	return False
