hi there,

i want to create a special keyboard mode for creating tables in a textview widget with lablgtk2.

To create one row the user should move with ENTER from cell to cell until the end is reached

and then ENTER to the next row:

this is my callback-function:

let key_pressed (textview:GText.view) (ev:GdkEvent.Key.t) =
let newch = GdkEvent.Key.string ev in
let buffer = textview#buffer in
let iter = buffer#end_iter in
if (newch = "\n") then
buffer#insert ~iter " "
else
buffer#insert ~iter newch;
true

For now it should insert empty spaces when ENTER is hit. Unfortunately it

doesn't work, it just inserts a new line.

Also, the functionality of the keyboard is limited, the backspace key for

instance doesn't work, but i could work around that thing.

Who can tell me how to correctly test the keys?

A code snippet might be helpful, too.

Thanks for help,

Christian
