> Give this a try. It might be close to what you are after. Thanks Eric. That works, however it is slightly different to what I need.
Firstly, my app is a dock containing nothing but a menu bar, so it has no "window" as such. Secondly, its key binding only works when its window has the focus. I need to globally bind a key so that it works regardless of the active application and this is why I have used the keybinder module. I have distilled an example and uploaded it as https://gist.github.com/db6bf5247058e32ffa5d794af37b80a3 It's very similar to your example except I create a dock and have been trying to use XML to generate menu items as well as doing it in code like my example shows. My example runs and the menus work as long as they are "activated" with the mouse, after which the mouse or keyboard can be used to navigate the menu. The key binding works, it just doesn't activate the menu. You can see the three things I tried in the code, two of them are commented out. The bound key is "Menu" (right-hand bottom of keyboard near right-alt) and the binding works when another application window is active. I just need the keybinder_callback to also perform similar "activation" of the menu. I don't even care whether it displays an initial submenu or just keyboard-focusses the menubar - the aim is to be able to hit the bound "Menu" key and then operate the menu with the keyboard (like I can after activating it with the mouse). I have also tried 'select_item' (as suggested by Colomban) which does select the first item in the menu bar but after that the app locks up and nothing responds, not even with the mouse.
