### Method

# Gtk SearchEntry set_key_capture_widget

#### Declaration [src]

    void
    gtk_search_entry_set_key_capture_widget (
      GtkSearchEntry* entry,
      GtkWidget* widget
    )

#### Description [src]

Sets `widget` as the widget that `entry` will capture key events from.

Key events are consumed by the search entry to start or continue a search.

If the entry is part of a `GtkSearchBar`, it is preferable to call `gtk_search_bar_set_key_capture_widget()` instead, which will reveal the entry in addition to triggering the search entry.

Note that despite the name of this function, the events are only ‘captured’ in the bubble phase, which means that editable child widgets of `widget` will receive text input before it gets captured. If that is not desired, you can capture and forward the events yourself with `gtk_event_controller_key_forward()`.

#### Parameters

`widget`

  Type: `GtkWidget`

  A `GtkWidget`

  The argument can be `NULL`.
  The data is owned by the caller of the method.
