[linux-audio-dev] gtk scrollbars.

[Patrick Shirkey]

I've stumbled across a problem that no doubt someone has come across before.

What is the recomended way to force alternate keybindings on a gtk 
scrollbar?

Would I have to create a custom widget that is a replica is there 
another way?

Using all the keys is a very simple way of making jackEQ truely useful 
in live performance. It would add functionality to the mixer in ardour too.

The docs for range widgets say this:
------------
Scrollbars are not focusable, thus have no key bindings. The key 
bindings for the other range widgets (which are, of course, only active 
when the widget has focus) are do not differentiate between horizontal 
and vertical range widgets.

All range widgets can be operated with the left, right, up and down 
arrow keys, as well as with the Page Up and Page Down keys. The arrows 
move the slider up and down by step_increment, while Page Up and Page 
Down move it by page_increment.

The user can also move the slider all the way to one end or the other of 
the trough using the keyboard. This is done with the Home and End keys.

Being on stage with the band in front of crowds shouting, "Get off! No! 
We want normal music!", I think that was more like acting than anything 
I've ever done.
