[pygtk] ActionGroup versus Keypress event

[Doug Blank]

Hello,

Looking for a little guidance on how to handle control+c in a pygtk application.

Currently, I have defined an ActionGroup with copy and paste. This
allows us to handle the control+c to move objects around, and also
shows the items on the menu.

However, this prevents control+c from working inside a text editing area.

What is the best way to handle control+c sometimes, but other times,
let gtk pass it around and handle it?

I have tried to emit a keystroke inside the ActionGroup associated
code, but it never appears (the print occurs, but no event is handled
by the text edit area):

    def call_copy(self):
        print "emit copy!"
        e = gtk.gdk.Event(gtk.gdk.KEY_PRESS)
        e.keyval = gtk.keysyms.c
        e.state = gtk.gdk.CONTROL_MASK
        e.window = self.uistate.window.window
        e.send_event = True
        self.uistate.window.get_focus().emit("key-press-event", e)
        return

Is there a better way that will make all of the text areas work, show
the control+c on the menu, but still allow us to handle it on
occasion?

Thanks for any insight,
