Hi Simon,

thanks, I finally got it.
I was doing the exact same thing like you did, but it just didn't work.
Your e-mail brought me to the idea to update my X11. I was still working under version 2.1.6 and copy&paste in a tktext-window didn't work with this version. Updating to the latest release (X11 2.4.0) and selecting the checkbox "activate clipboard" under settings was the right way to make it work!

Thanks so much, Anne

Hi there,

a text window is supposed to map the shortcuts for copying and pasting
(<Ctrl-C>, <Ctrl-V>) automatically.
I'm working under Mac OS X and my text window doesn't really map these
functions automatically - it works fine under Windows. I know that
under Mac OS one would use <Command-c> to copy the text but this won't
work either.
Is there an easy way to map copy&paste functions to a text window
under Mac OS X? Because if I try to map a copy-function to my
textwindow it doesn't work with <Command-c> but once I try a different
shortcut for example <Control-e> it works just fine.


The Tcl/Tk toolkit runs under X11 so this is really a function of your X11. Once you select the text you can use the shortcuts defined for X11 so in a stock Apple X11 on both 10.4.1 and 10.5.8 <Cmd><C> works just fine. You failed to show any relevant code so I can only guess what you mean so I use this:

library(tcltk)
tt<-tktoplevel()
t<-tktext(tt)
tkpack(t)

Cheers,
Simon
