GObject +----GtkActionGroup
GtkActionGroup implements
GtkBuildable.
Actions are organised into groups. An action group is essentially a
map from names to GtkAction objects.
All actions that would make sense to use in a particular context should be in a single group. Multiple action groups may be used for a particular user interface. In fact, it is expected that most nontrivial applications will make use of multiple groups. For example, in an application that can edit multiple documents, one group holding global actions (e.g. quit, about, new), and one group per document holding actions that act on that document (eg. save, cut/copy/paste, etc). Each window's menus would be constructed from a combination of two action groups.
Accelerators are handled by the GTK+ accelerator map. All actions are assigned an
accelerator path (which normally has the form
<Actions>/ \var{group-name} / \var{action-name})
and a shortcut is associated with this accelerator path. All menuitems and
toolitems take on this accelerator path. The GTK+ accelerator map code makes
sure that the correct shortcut is displayed next to the menu item.
The GtkActionGroup implementation of the GtkBuildable interface accepts GtkAction objects as <child> elements in UI definitions.
Note that it is probably more common to define actions and action groups in the code, since they are directly related to what the code can do.
The GtkActionGroup implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a custom <accelerator> element, which has attributes named key and modifiers and allows to specify accelerators. This is similar to the <accelerator> element of GtkWidget, the main difference is that it doesn't allow you to specify a signal.

members and should not be accessed directly.
GtkActionEntryGtkActionEntry structs are used with
gtkActionGroupAddActions to construct actions.
GtkActionEntry is a transparent-type.
nameThe name of the action.
stock_idThe stock id for the action, or the name of an icon from the icon theme.
labelThe label for the action. This field should typically be marked for
translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain. If label
is NULL, the label of the stock item with id stock.id is used.
acceleratorThe accelerator for the action, in the format understood by
gtkAcceleratorParse.
tooltipThe tooltip for the action. This field should typically be marked
for translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain.
callbackThe function to call when the action is activated.
GtkToggleActionEntryGtkToggleActionEntry structs are used with
gtkActionGroupAddToggleActions to construct toggle actions.
GtkToggleActionEntry is a transparent-type.
nameThe name of the action.
stock_idThe stock id for the action, or the name of an icon from the icon theme.
labelThe label for the action. This field should typically be marked for
translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain.
acceleratorThe accelerator for the action, in the format understood by
gtkAcceleratorParse.
tooltipThe tooltip for the action. This field should typically be marked
for translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain.
callbackThe function to call when the action is activated.
is_activeThe initial state of the toggle action.
GtkRadioActionEntryGtkRadioActionEntry structs are used with
gtkActionGroupAddRadioActions to construct groups of radio actions.
GtkRadioActionEntry is a transparent-type.
nameThe name of the action.
stock_idThe stock id for the action, or the name of an icon from the icon theme.
labelThe label for the action. This field should typically be marked for
translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain.
acceleratorThe accelerator for the action, in the format understood by
gtkAcceleratorParse.
tooltipThe tooltip for the action. This field should typically be marked for
translation, see gtkActionGroupSetTranslationDomain.
valueThe value to set on the radio action. See gtkRadioActionGetCurrentValue.
gtkActionGroup is the equivalent of gtkActionGroupNew.
connect-proxy(action.group, action, proxy, user.data)The ::connect-proxy signal is emitted after connecting a proxy to an action in the group. Note that the proxy may have been connected to a different action before.
This is intended for simple customizations for which a custom action
class would be too clumsy, e.g. showing tooltips for menuitems in the
statusbar.
GtkUIManager proxies the signal and provides global notification
just before any action is connected to a proxy, which is probably more
convenient to use.

disconnect-proxy(action.group, action, proxy, user.data)The ::disconnect-proxy signal is emitted after disconnecting a proxy
from an action in the group.
