<!-- ##### SECTION Title ##### -->GtkAccelLabel<!-- ##### SECTION Short_Description ##### -->A label which displays an accelerator key on the right of the text<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### --><para>The #GtkAccelLabel widget is a subclass of #GtkLabel that also displays anaccelerator key on the right of the label text, e.g. 'Ctl+S'.It is commonly used in menus to show the keyboard short-cuts for commands.</para><para>The accelerator key to display is not set explicitly.Instead, the #GtkAccelLabel displays the accelerators which have been added toa particular widget. This widget is set by callinggtk_accel_label_set_accel_widget().</para><para>For example, a #GtkMenuItem widget may have an accelerator added to emit the"activate" signal when the 'Ctl+S' key combination is pressed.A #GtkAccelLabel is created and added to the #GtkMenuItem, andgtk_accel_label_set_accel_widget() is called with the #GtkMenuItem as thesecond argument. The #GtkAccelLabel will now display 'Ctl+S' after its label.</para><para>Note that creating a #GtkMenuItem with gtk_menu_item_new_with_label() (orone of the similar functions for #GtkCheckMenuItem and #GtkRadioMenuItem)automatically adds a #GtkAccelLabel to the #GtkMenuItem and callsgtk_accel_label_set_accel_widget() to set it up for you.</para><para>A #GtkAccelLabel will only display accelerators which have %GTK_ACCEL_VISIBLEset (see #GtkAccelFlags).A #GtkAccelLabel can display multiple accelerators and even signal names,though it is almost always used to display just one accelerator key.</para><example><title>Creating a simple menu item with an accelerator key.</title><programlisting>  GtkWidget *save_item;  GtkAccelGroup *accel_group;  /* Create a GtkAccelGroup and add it to the window. */  accel_group = gtk_accel_group_new (<!-- -->);  gtk_window_add_accel_group (GTK_WINDOW (window), accel_group);  /* Create the menu item using the convenience function. */  save_item = gtk_menu_item_new_with_label ("Save");  gtk_widget_show (save_item);  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (menu), save_item);  /* Now add the accelerator to the GtkMenuItem.
