Hello,
A guy on the forum reported that he wasn't able to input Danish
characters, though he could display and copy/paste them:
http://amsn.sourceforge.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=9308#9308
I asked on #tcl and they suggested removing scim if it's installed, or
upgrading tcl/tk to 8.4.13 . However, they mentioned that the %A binding
might be problematic, this made me think, we do have it in the
chatwindow... I tried to ask them, but at the end I got lost, and besides,
I am at the lab so I have to resume work before tomorrow :P so please,
could someone with more knowledge take a look at this? I am pasting the
log below (tried to clean it up...)
13:32 < ijchain> <dkf> because Tk assumes that it can recompute it as
often as
it wants, and that's not actually possible.
13:33 < ijchain> <dkf> I've got a few ideas on how to fix, but they're a
little
tricky
13:34 < ijchain> <dkf> and I'm short of time to do such stuff (as usual
;))
13:34 < ijchain> <rmax> Our IM guy suggested to add a common (across
platforms)
IM framework to Tk that can have plugins to support
various IM
implementations.
13:35 < vivia> dkf: chatwindow.tcl: bind $textinner <KeyPress>
"::ChatWindow::lastKeytyped %A %K $w" <-- could this be
a
problem then?
13:35 < ijchain> <rmax> Gnome and KDE seem to do it that way.
13:35 < ijchain> <dkf> there are other options too
13:35 < ijchain> <dkf> vivia: not sure, depends also on the class bindings
13:38 < vivia> dkf: how can I find out? :D
13:39 < ijchain> <dkf> The [bindtags] command lists the binding categories
for
a widget
13:39 < ijchain> <dkf> Each of those categories may be bound to using
[bind]
13:39 < ijchain> <dkf> So using a mix of those two commands can let you
completely explore what happens when a widget gets an
event
13:41 < vivia> dkf: warning: newbie here, I know maybe 5% of tcl/tk and I
can
hack code quite easily, but it's difficult for me to write
code
myself (especially tk). So I'm going to need help on that
;)
(Trying to find the widget name right now)
13:42 < ijchain> <suchenwi> It's easier to experiment from scratch - an
empty
editor window :D
13:43 < ijchain> <dkf> isn't there a tool for inspecting a running Tk app
and
looking at stuff like that?
13:43 < ijchain> <suchenwi> TkInspect?
13:43 < ijchain> <dkf> yeah
13:43 < ijchain> <dkf> never used it myself ;)
13:43 < ijchain> <stevel> or there's a modified version in TDK if you have
that
13:43 < ijchain> <dkf> but could be useful for vivia
13:43 < ijchain> <stevel> it's handy when you are tweaking a UI
13:43 < ijchain> <suchenwi> But most often a console is good enough for me
to
explore Tk apps :)
13:43 < ijchain> <suchenwi> http://wiki.tcl.tk/tkinspect
13:44 * ijchain stevel is reminded of the Monty Python line about
"Inspector
Nipples of the Yard"
13:44 < ijchain> <suchenwi> JH - the TDK Inspector was originally an
enhanced
TkInspect, but we completely rewrote it. No more
home-brew
object system, different widgets used (ttk required),
etc.
13:45 < ijchain> <stevel> yep - the TDK inspector is nice
