[Geany-Devel] Shortcut to plugin menu

[Steven Blatnick]

For mapping a keyboard shortcut to an action, look for some code like 
this (see my plugin 
<https://github.com/sblatnick/geany-plugins/blob/master/quick-line/src/quick-line.c>):

    GeanyKeyGroup *key_group;
    key_group = plugin_set_key_group(geany_plugin,
    "quick_line_keyboard_shortcut", KB_GROUP, NULL);
    keybindings_set_item(key_group, KB_QUICK_LINE, quick_line, 0,
    0,"quick_line", _("Quick Line..."), NULL);

Each call to keybindings_set_itemadds an entry in the 
Preferences->Keybindings for you to map any way that you or others using 
your plugin want to.
To open the menu using a keybinding, I would look at manually calling 
the appropriate event (perhaps gtk-menu-popup 
<https://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.4/GtkMenu.html#gtk-menu-popup>) from 
within the callback you set up in the keybindings_set_item.  In the code 
above, quick_line is the callback.

I hope this helps.
