libkeybinder
============
:Author: Ulrik Sverdrup <ulrik.sverdrup@gmail.com>
**keybinder** is a library for registering global keyboard shortcuts.
Keybinder works with GTK-based applications using the X Window System.
The library contains:
* A C library, ``libkeybinder``
* Gobject-Introspection (gir) generated bindings
* Lua bindings, ``lua-keybinder``
* Python bindings, ``python-keybinder``
* An ``examples`` directory with programs in C, Lua, Python and Vala.
Compile and Installation Notes
------------------------------
The package ``keybinder`` compiles against GTK+ 2 while the package
``keybinder-3.0`` compiles against GTK+ 3. The two packages can be
installed in parallel.
Both packages support generating gobject-introspection (gir) bindings,
even if these bindings are more relevant for the future, hence the GTK+
3 package. For ``keybinder-3.0``, the gir bindings are strongly
recommended over any other language bindings.
``keybinder`` includes ``python-keybinder`` which are static python
(PyGTK 2) bindings. If you don't have the neccessary dependencies, and
don't want to build the python bindings, you have to explicitly disable
them using the ``--disable-python`` option with configure.
``keybinder`` and ``keybinder-3.0`` include experimental static lua
bindings. It is possible you need to tell configure where Lua includes
are to be found using (adjusting the path appropriately)::
./configure CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/include/lua5.1
If you want to compile with reduced library linking, configure using::
CC="cc -Wl,--as-needed" ./configure
Build Requirements
------------------
* GTK+ 3.0 (``keybinder-3.0``) or GTK+ 2.20 (``keybinder``)
* gobject-introspection
* gtk-doc 1.14
* Python 2.5, pygobject 2.15.3, pygobject-codegen-2.0 for
``python-keybinder``
History
-------
This library originates in `Tomboy`_ and has been widely reused without
having a separate release. This package has taken the python bindings
from the `Deskbar Applet`_ project, and broken it out to a standalone
project. The library was subsequently rewritten in major parts.
