Problem Suppose you would like to allow users to delete multiple rows in a linear list (i.e. using GtkTreeView with GtkListStore).
In Part 1 the user has to press the "Delete Selected Rows" button to delete the rows.
In this Part 2, the user can also press the Delete key to delete the selected rows as shown below:
Solution
- Register key-press-event on the treeview.
- When the Delete key is pressed, delete the selected rows using the technique as outlined in Part 1.

Explanation We make use of the code from How to delete multiple rows in GtkTreeView using GtkListStore - Part 1?
What's new here:
- Register the signal
key-press-event on the treeview.
- Check if this is Delete key.
- Yes, it's Delete key. Remove the selected rows!
