A GtkShortcutsWindow shows brief information about the keyboard shortcuts
and gestures of an application. The shortcuts can be grouped, and you can
have multiple sections in this window, corresponding to the major modes of
your application.
Additionally, the shortcuts can be filtered by the current view, to avoid
showing information that is not relevant in the current application context.
The recommended way to construct a GtkShortcutsWindow is with GtkBuilder,
by populating a #GtkShortcutsWindow with one or more #GtkShortcutsSection
objects, which contain #GtkShortcutsGroups that in turn contain objects of
class #GtkShortcutsShortcut.
A simple example:
This example has as single section. As you can see, the shortcut groups
are arranged in columns, and spread across several pages if there are too
many to find on a single page.
