[pygtk] Propagation of keyboard events

[Osmo Salomaa]

Hello list,

Let's say I've written an application with various keybindings, e.g.
Ctrl+C for copying, bound to a UI manager action. Now I notice that I
want to put an entry in the application main window and in that entry I
want Ctrl+C to be bound to the basic built-in text copying of the entry.
How do I best avoid triggering the application-level UI manager action
when in that Entry? Is there an easier way than setting sensitivities of
action groups on focus-in and focus-out events on that entry?

In the PyGTK FAQ I find [1]

        Keyboard events are handled differently. When your window
        receives a keyboard event, it is first dispatched to the
        toplevel window, which will check if it matches any keyboard
        shortcuts. If the key press doesn't match a shortcut, then the
        event is dispatched to the child widget that currently has
        focus.

Basically, I'd want the propagation to work the other way around.
