This library was made for Pomf It !
Basically Nim version of keybinder library for C with added Windows support.*
*On Windows it uses the win32 api to register keybinds but saves you from the hasle of using win32 api at all if you choose so.
(e.g: your application uses GTK exclusively)
Huge credits go to original developers of keybinder.
Check keybinder on GitHub.
Use compiler option -d:threads along with --threads:on.
(as of now, I'm not aware of way to detect the --threads option)
nkb_init()
Initializes the nkb library , MUST be called before any other library calls.
nkb_set_use_cooked (bool)
Set wether to use cooked accelerators. GTK/linux only
Default: OFF
nkb_bind(keystring: cstring, handler: PKeybindHandle, user_data: pointer, uID: cuint): bool
Procedure to register a procedure to a hotkey.
Keystring must valid gtk accel string e.g <CTRL>i
Handler is a proc pointer of PKeybindHandle type (keystring: cstring, data: pointer)
User_data will be supplied to handler. Can be nil.
uID is unique identifier for this hotkey (used only on Windows). Can be ommited. Will be generated if not specified.
Returns bool value of true if bind was successful.
nkb_unbind(keystring: cstring, handle: PKeybindHandle)
Self descriptive.
nkb_unbind_all()
Unbinds all keybinds.
This library depends on gtk2 & x11 for linux / oldwinapi for windows
packages from the official Nimble repository.
