They show up as checkable GButtons in GToolBar, and with (or without) check
marks in menus.
There are a bunch of places to make use of this. This patch only takes
advantage of it in the FileManager for the view type actions.
Now GTextEditor manages its own editing actions (cut/copy/paste/etc) and
will show a context menu containing them when requested.
Apps that want to put a GTextEditor's actions in its menu can get to the
actions via public getters. :^)
The enabled state of a GAction now propagates both to any toolbar buttons
and any menu items linked to the action. Toolbar buttons are painted in
a grayed out style when disabled. Menu items are gray when disabled. :^)
This patch adds a simple GMessageBox that can run in a nested event loop.
Here's how you use it:
GMessageBox box("Message text here", "Message window title");
int result = box.exec();
The next step is to make the WindowServer respect the modality flag of
these windows and prevent interaction with other windows in the same
process until the modal window has been closed.
This patch adds a GShortcut class. Each GAction can have a GShortcut which
will cause the event loop to listen for that key combination app-globally
and activate the event in case it's pressed.
The shortcut will also be displayed when the action is added to a menu.
Use this to hook up Alt+Up with the "open parent directory" action in the
FileManager app. :^)
GMenu now has an "on_item_activation" callback that fires whenever one
of its items are activated. The menu item identifier is used to distinguish
between items.
Use this to implement font switching in Terminal. :^)
