Widget.activate

For widgets that can be “activated” (buttons, menu items, etc.), this function activates them.

The activation will emit the signal set using [method@Gtk.WidgetClass.set_activate_signal] during class initialization.

Activation is what happens when you press <kbd>Enter</kbd> on a widget during key navigation.

If you wish to handle the activation keybinding yourself, it is recommended to use [method@Gtk.WidgetClass.add_shortcut] with an action created with [ctor@Gtk.SignalAction.new].

If @widget isn't activatable, the function returns %FALSE.

bool
