Re: how to catch keystroke in clipman menu?

You can just connect `my_keypress_function()` when the menu is shown (GtkWidget's "show" signal), then, when a key is pressed, you look at which key it is, which menu item is active, and act (or not) accordingly.

No need to bother with what you say in the first part, it should work by itself in this case.

Don't forget to disconnect `my_keypress_function()` when the menu disappears though (GtkMenuShell's "selection-done" signal should be fine).

Cheers,
Gaël
