PyGTK TextView - How to enable Ctrl+V for cut and paste?

[aidave]

Hi, I am currently developing an open source program called "Kabikaboo" to help assist in novel writing. I am learning Python, GTK, etc, while doing so. Kabikaboo is very functional, but one thing is stumping me:

I do not know how to enable Ctrl+V, Ctrl+C, and other shortcuts inside of a TextView.

When I print the keys from a callback, it shows the user hitting the V key, and the Ctrl key, but no values for Ctrl+V when pressed together, nor Ctrl+AnyKey.

The funny thing is, the popup menu for the TextView has working cut-n-paste. It is only the keyboard shortcuts that don't work. I need those to work for it to be user-friendly.

Can anyone help, please?

thanks,
Dave

Code is available here:

Why don't you create an accel for Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V? You don't need to manually capture the typing events.

I hadnt heard of those before, thanks.

Can you give more details on how they would solve the problem?

I found this while searching the net... I have no idea if this is the solution, what to do with accels, or if PyGTK is buggy.

Any help or a link to example programs that having working Ctrl+V/etc would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks to Juhaz and mariano on #pygtk IRC, a solution was found.

The GLADE interface designer generates overrides on its default File Menu. The Edit submenu has Copy/Paste/Cut items. Deleting those (or linking to them) solves the problem! :)
