Unfortunately I don't seem to have a "Meta" key anywhere on my keyboard. Tried <ctrl>-delete, <alt>-delete, <fn>-delete, <Super>-delete, finally tried <ctrl>-<alt>-delete then logged in again. (Oops.) I'm already using a combobox instead of an entry widget (to get a drop-down history), and I have a feeling it would be a royal pain to get the text widget to act like a combobox. What's worse is that these default bindings don't seem to exist for entry. Evidently no one who uses tk needs to delete whole words unless there are multiple lines... -Jonathan > > .hc > > On Jun 9, 2011, at 11:42 PM, Jonathan Wilkes wrote: > > > Hi, > > I'm finishing up a search > gui-plugin and would like to bind <ctrl-backspace> to > delete the word to the left of the insertion character > inside an entry widget.
