Hi, a question here

How do I move cursor in tree view (with liststore as model) without  
using  
mouse click or arrow?  
I mean something like press F1 and it moves to first row?  
I can’t get it to work especially if tree row has not been focused  
before  
I hope someone can help  
Thanks

Nevermind. I’ve grab some understanding about path and it solves my  
problem  
only got to know row number I want to jump to, then set\_cursor  
GTK::TreePath.new(row\_number\_I\_want\_as\_string, nil, nil)  
Solved it.  
Thanks anyway. This is a great library. Really enjoy making software  
using  
this 🙂
