About:
libgedit-amtk provides a comprehensive set of widgets and utilities for managing application menus, toolbars, and action groups in GTK-based applications. It simplifies the creation of traditional application interfaces by offering high-level components that integrate with GAction and GtkBuilder. The library helps developers implement consistent user interfaces while reducing boilerplate code for UI management.
Key Features:
  • GAction integration for command handling
  • Reusable toolbar and menu widgets
  • Automatic keyboard shortcut management
  • UI layout persistence support
  • GNOME HIG compliance
Use Cases:
  • Building traditional menu-driven GTK applications
  • Creating complex text editor interfaces
  • Developing applications requiring extensive toolbar customization
Alternatives:
  • libhandy – Focuses on mobile/adaptive UI rather than traditional desktop menus
  • GTK built-ins – Lower-level widgets requiring more manual implementation
