now I am getting confused ;)
When I run the above example (or the one by the OP) and press Alt-s,
nothing is inserted in the entry, and that is just what I would expect
as of the widget's default bindings, or am I missing something here?
The default bindings are defined in entry.tcl, the relevant part looks
like:
# Ignore all Alt, Meta, and Control keypresses unless explicitly bound.
# Otherwise, if a widget binding for one of these is defined, the
# <KeyPress> class binding will also fire and insert the character,
# which is wrong. Ditto for Escape, Return, and Tab.
bind Entry <Alt-KeyPress> {# nothing}
Now, when I comment out the above line and run the examples, the "s" is
actually inserted in the entry. Russell, is it possible that you miss
entry.tcl or that it is somehow broken? This would explain why the "s"
is inserted when Mod1 is used - but unfortunately not why Alt is not
working :(
I still suspect the WM... ;)
Regards
Michael
