I had read this documentation but I could not work out the correct pattern for making use of it. So the principle is to use 'add_accelerator' on each of the widgets that I want to be activated by keypress and then somehow agregate the accel_groups up to the top level widget? Or is it better to construct the accel_group in the top level window and pass it in to the constructor of all the sub widgets, using it in the calls to add_accelerator on each of the sub widgets? Does anyone have an example of doing this? Thanks again.
