acceleratorParse

Parses a string representing an accelerator.

The format looks like “<Control>a” or “<Shift><Alt>F1”.

The parser is fairly liberal and allows lower or upper case, and also abbreviations such as “<Ctl>” and “<Ctrl>”.

Key names are parsed using funcGdk.keyval_from_name. For character keys the name is not the symbol, but the lowercase name, e.g. one would use “<Ctrl>minus” instead of “<Ctrl>-”.

Modifiers are enclosed in angular brackets <>, and match the gdk.types.ModifierType mask:

If the parse operation fails, accelerator_key and accelerator_mods will be set to 0 (zero).
