Thanks Norbert, your solution works for me. For whatever reason, i do not seem to have to grab the focus, although maybe i'm subtly degrading conformance to some expected behavior. I'm too dense to see what it is, though.
Also, for me, the name "button-press-event" works just as well as "button_press_event", though maybe one is preferred over the other for whatever reason. Anyhow, thanks again, because i certainly was stuck before. dan On Sat, Feb 18, 2017 at 4:44 PM, Norbert de Jonge <m...@norbertdejonge.nl> wrote: >> I have an gtk_entry [...] and i would like to capture clicks >> in the entry [...] depending on what modifier keys are held > > You can use g_signal_connect (..., "button_press_event", G_CALLBACK > (Function), NULL); Then in Function, check if (event->button.state == > GDK_SHIFT_MASK) {} else {}.
