<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->
GtkActionGroup

<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->
A group of actions

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
Actions are organised into groups.  An action group is essentially a
map from names to #GtkAction objects.
</para>
<para>
All actions that would make sense to use in a particular context
should be in a single group.  Multiple action groups may be used for a
particular user interface.  In fact, it is expected that most nontrivial 
applications will make use of multiple groups.  For example, in an application
that can edit multiple documents, one group holding global actions 
(e.g. quit, about, new), and one group per document holding actions that 
act on that document (eg. save, cut/copy/paste, etc).  Each window's menus 
would be constructed from a combination of two action groups.
</para>
<para id="Action-Accel">
Accelerators are handled by the GTK+ accelerator map. All actions are assigned an 
accelerator path (which normally has the form 
<literal>&lt;Actions&gt;/<replaceable>group-name</replaceable>/<replaceable>action-name</replaceable></literal>) 
and a shortcut is associated with this accelerator path. All menuitems and 
toolitems take on this accelerator path. The GTK+ accelerator map code makes 
sure that the correct shortcut is displayed next to the menu item.
</para>

<refsect2 id="GtkActionGroup-BUILDER-UI">
<title>GtkActionGroup as GtkBuildable</title>
<para>
The GtkActionGroup implementation of the GtkBuildable interface accepts
GtkAction objects as &lt;child&gt; elements in UI definitions.
</para>
<para>
Note that it is probably more common to define actions and action groups
in the code, since they are directly related to what the code can do.
</para>
<para>
The GtkActionGroup implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports a 
custom &lt;accelerator&gt; element, which has attributes named key and
modifiers and allows to specify accelerators. This is similar to the 
&lt;accelerator&gt; element of GtkWidget, the main difference is that 
it doesn't allow you to specify a signal.

<para>
<structname>GtkActionEntry</structname> structs are used with

</para>

@name: The name of the action.
@stock_id: The stock id for the action, or the name of an icon from the icon 
    theme.
@label: The label for the action. This field should typically be marked for 
    translation, see gtk_action_group_set_translation_domain(). If @label
    is %NULL, the label of the stock item with id @stock_id is used.
@accelerator: The accelerator for the action, in the format understood by 
    gtk_accelerator_parse().
@tooltip: The tooltip for the action. This field should typically be marked 
    for translation, see gtk_action_group_set_translation_domain().
@callback: The function to call when the action is activated.
