Tomas,
This is fine with me. It'd be cool if you also made
Ctrl+<> increase or decrease the font size by 1 or 2
points at the same time.
Unfortunately, GTK+ 2.0 and 2.2 don't expose the
"Insert Unicode Control Character" menu that its
GtkEntry and GtkTextView support in the right-click
menu, which is essentially the same as what you are
doing. Jody from Gnumeric and I have filed a bug in
Gnome's bugzilla about this. I expect GTK+ 2.4 to
expose this to the world.
Thanks,
Dom
