Has anyone used GTK and Python (or C/C++) here? Any ideas on how to make keyboard hotkeys? I am using Glade3 to build the GUI.

Thanks in advance

Please lookup gtk+ accelerators. Also the PyGTK FAQ is a good source of information for beginning programmers using gtk+ and python.
 
You sir are a saint. I didn't know they were called accelerators :). Thanks a bunch!
