Hi Ian, Thanks a lot for your explanations, but... I don't see what al all you propose and how to apply it with Gtk::Entry widgets, while (almost to me...) they seems not to emit such key press signals, normally... even adding/setting a key press mask.
In addition, I don't see how to (safely) change the value that will be set inside the entry widget. Some help ?
