gtkmm keyboard input

[evster]

Hello,

I am writing my first gtkmm program. I have made many gui programs in other languages (mostly on windows), but I am having trouble figuring out how to get keyboard events. For example, if someone presses 'esc' i want the program to exit. Could anyone point me to some examples of this?

Thanks!

Have you learned about signals in GTK, yet? What you probably want is a keypress_event sort of signal Check out the gtkmm docs and search around for more information about signals:
