In a simple text editor, I have a "docked" find/replace bar, as apposed
to the common dialog version.
The problem I had is that when pressing Ctrl-v inside either the find or
the replace entry box, the text is pasted into the editing window instead.
If I create my Edit->Paste menu item without an accelerator, the related
function is never called, and all works well--it seems that both the
find entry box, and the editor window handle the Ctrl-v implicitly. But,
if I do that, selecting the menu item obviously does nothing, and the
non-existent accelerator is not displayed for users.
In the end, I overcame the problem by connecting/disconnecting the
accelerator for the Edit->Paste menu item when the editor window
receives/loses focus. This works, but feels a bit
"bubblegum-and-sticky-tape'ish", and I can't help wondering if there is
perhaps a better, more robust, way of doing this. My main concern with
my current approach is that gtk_action_disconnect_accelerator only
disconnects the accelerator if the accel_count has reached 0--and I
cannot find a way to tell what accel_count is for a given GtkAction.
