=head1 NAME

Gtk2::BindingSet - wrapper for GtkBindingSet

=cut

=for position DESCRIPTION

=head1 DESCRIPTION

A C<Gtk2::BindingSet> is basically a mapping from keyval+modifiers to
a named action signal to invoke and with argument values for the
signal.  Bindings are normally run by the C<Gtk2::Widget> default
C<key-press-event> handler, but can also be activated explicitly.

Binding sets can be populated from program code with
C<entry_add_signal>, or created from an RC file or string (see
L<Gtk2::Rc>).  If you use the RC note it doesn't parse and create
anything until there's someone interested in the result, such as
C<Gtk2::Settings> for widgets.	This means binding sets in RC files or
strings don't exist for C<< Gtk2::BindingSet->find >> to retrieve
until at least one widget has been created (or similar).

Currently there's no Perl-level access to the contents of a
BindingSet, except for C<set_name>.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 GtkBindingSet = Gtk2::BindingSet->B<new> ($set_name)

=over

=item * $set_name (string) 

=back



=head2 boolean = $binding_set-E<gt>B<activate> ($keyval, $modifiers, $object)

=over

=item * $keyval (integer) 

=item * $modifiers (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) 

=item * $object (Gtk2::Object) 

=back

=head2 $binding_set-E<gt>B<add_path> ($path_type, $path_pattern, $priority)

=over

=item * $path_type (Gtk2::PathType) 

=item * $path_pattern (string) 

=item * $priority (integer) 

=back

The following constants are defined for standard priority levels,

    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_LOWEST
    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_GTK
    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_APPLICATION
    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_THEME
    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_RC
    Gtk2::GTK_PATH_PRIO_HIGHEST

LOWEST, which is 0, and HIGHEST, which is 15, are the limits of the
allowed priorities.  The standard values are from the
C<Gtk2::PathPriorityType> enum, but the parameter here is an integer,
not an enum string, so you can give a value for instance a little
above or below the pre-defined levels.

=head2 bindingset or undef = Gtk2::BindingSet-E<gt>B<by_class> ($name)

=over

=item * $name (string) 

=back

=head2 $binding_set->B<entry_add_signal> ($keyval, $modifiers, $signal_name)

=head2 $binding_set->B<entry_add_signal> ($keyval, $modifiers, $signal_name, $type,$value, ...)

=over

=item * $keyval (integer) 

=item * $modifiers (Gtk2::Gdk::ModifierType) 

=item * $signal_name (string) 

=item * $value (scalar) 

=item * $type (string) 

=back

Add an entry to $binding_set.  $keyval and $modifier are setup as a
binding for $signal_name and with signal parameters given by $value
arguments.  Each value is preceded by a type (a string), which must be
one of

    Glib::Long
    Glib::Double
    Glib::String
    an enum type, ie. subtype of Glib::Enum
    Glib::Flags, or a flags subtype

For example,

    $binding_set->entry_add_signal
	(Gtk2->keyval_from_name('Return'),
	 [ 'control-mask' ],   # modifiers
	 'some-signal-name',
	 'Glib::Double', 1.5,
	 'Glib::String,	 'hello');

A parameter holds one of the three types Long, Double or String.  When
invoked they're coerced to the parameter types expected by the target
object or widget.  Use Glib::Long for any integer argument, including
chars and unichars by ordinal value.  Use Glib::Double for both single
and double precision floats.

Flags and enums are held as Longs in the BindingSet.  You can pass an
enum type and string and C<entry_with_signal> will lookup and store
accordingly.  For example

    $binding_set->entry_add_signal
	(Gtk2->keyval_from_name('Escape), [],
	 'set-direction',
	 'Gtk2::Orientation', 'vertical');

Likewise flags from an arrayref,

    $binding_set->entry_add_signal
	(Gtk2->keyval_from_name('d'), [],
	 'initiate-drag',
	 'Gtk2::Gdk::DragAction', ['move,'ask']);

If you've got a Glib::Flags object, rather than just an arrayref, then
you can just give Glib::Flags as the type and the value is taken from
the object.  For example,

    my $flags = Gtk2::DebugFlag->new (['tree', 'updates']);
    $binding_set->entry_add_signal
	(Gtk2->keyval_from_name('x'), ['control-mask'],
	 'change-debug',
	 'Glib::Flags', $flags);
