Given an accelerator group, accel_group, and an accelerator path,
accel_path, sets up an accelerator in accel_group so whenever the
key binding that is defined for accel_path is pressed, widget
will be activated. This removes any accelerators (for any
accelerator group) installed by previous calls to
Widget.setAccelPath. Associating accelerators with
paths allows them to be modified by the user and the modifications
to be saved for future use. (See AccelMap.save.)
This function is a low level function that would most likely
be used by a menu creation system like gtk.UIManager If you
use gtk.UIManager, setting up accelerator paths will be done
automatically.
Even when you you aren’t using gtk.UIManager, if you only want to
set up accelerators on menu items Menu.itemSetAccelPath
provides a somewhat more convenient interface.
Note that accel_path string will be stored in a GQuark Therefore, if you
pass a static string, you can save some memory by interning it first with
g_intern_static_string().
