Currently, GadTools does not process keyboard equivalents for gadgets. It is up to the application writer to implement the correct behavior, normally by calling gt_setgadgetattrs() on the appropriate gadget. for some kinds of gadget, the behavior should be the same regardless of whether the keyboard equivalent was pressed with or without the shift key.

Slider Gadgets The unshifted keystroke should increase the slider's level by one, stopping at the maximum, while the shifted keystroke should decrease the level by one, stopping at the minimum. Use gt_setgadgetattrs() and the gtsl_level tag. Scroller Gadgets The unshifted keystroke should increase the scroller's top by one, stopping at the maximum, while the shifted keystroke should decrease the scroller's top by one, stopping at the minimum. Use gt_setgadgetattrs() and the gtsc_top tag. Listview Gadgets The unshifted keystroke should cause the next entry in the list to become the selected one, stopping at the last entry, while the shifted keystroke should cause the previous entry in the list to become the selected one, stopping at the first entry.
