public class AccelGroup
extends GObject

An AccelGroup represents a group of keyboard accelerators, typically attached to a toplevel Window. Usually you will not need to create an AccelGroup directoy; instead, when using ItemFactory, GTK+ automatically sets up the accelerators for your menus in the item factory's AccelGroup.

Note that accelerators are different from mnemonics. Accelerators are shortcuts for activating a menu item; they appear alongside the menu item they're a shortcut for. For example, "Ctrl+Q" might appear alongside the "Quit" menu item. Mnemonics are shortcuts for GUI elements such as text entries or buttons; they appear as underlined characters.
