how to listen to a key pressed event?

[Osiris]

Hello,

in a GtkNotebook-Tab (my search-tab) i want to listen to the key pressed event.
When the key "Return" is pressed i want to emmit the signal for the search button.

Can somebody show me an example of doing this?

Thanks a lot.

What do you mean with "notebook tab"? I thought notebook tabs don't get the focus.

When I've selected my search tab (notebook page)
here is the page

I would be able to listen, if the "Return"-key is pressed.
If this key is pressed i want to emmit the signal for start searching instead of the search button emmits this signal. (I know, very bad english ....)

You need to connect the key press signal on each text entry widget, not the whole notebook. The notebook or the tab don't get the events.

ok, at the end, this was more than easy after reading some Threads in the mailing-list.
Pressing the enter key emits the activate-signal..

If you used MARC or so, could you give the urls so that people having the same problems will find it faster?
