I am not sure if I understand correctly what you are trying to achieve;
in one my programs there is a window with a couple of keyboard bindings
for this and that, there I simply put all the bindings into one method
like this:
def apply_default_bindings(self, widget):
for key in ('KP_Home', 'KP_End', 'KP_Insert', 'KP_Up', 'KP_Left',
'KP_Right', 'KP_Down', 'KP_Next', 'KP_Prior',
'KP_Begin', 'z'):
widget.bind('<Control-%s>' % key, self.zoom_in_by_key)
for key in ('KP_0', 'KP_1', 'KP_2', 'KP_3', 'KP_4', 'KP_5',
'KP_6', 'KP_7', 'KP_8', 'KP_9', 'Z'):
widget.bind('<Control-Shift-%s>' %key, self.zoom_out_by_key)
for key in ('Left', 'Right', 'Prior', 'Next', 'Home', 'End'):
widget.bind('<%s>' % key, self.scroll_canvas)
widget.bind('<Control-o>', self.openfile)
widget.bind('<Control-s>', self.stop)
widget.bind('<Control-p>', self.play)
widget.bind('<Control-i>', self.pause)
widget.bind('<Control-Down>', self.set_volume)
widget.bind('<Control-Up>', self.set_volume)
widget.bind('<Control-n>', self.setmark)
widget.bind('<Control-d>', self.clearmarks)
widget.bind('<Control-t>', self.see_next_mark)
widget.bind('<Control-Shift-T>', self.see_prev_mark)
widget.bind('<Control-c>', self.see_cursor)
widget.bind('<Control-Shift-C>', self.center_cursor)
widget.bind('<Control-Left>', self.move_cursor)
widget.bind('<Control-Right>', self.move_cursor)
widget.bind('<Control-Prior>', self.move_cursor)
widget.bind('<Control-Next>', self.move_cursor)
and call this once every widget in the window, which
costs a few extra lines, but otoh saves quite some headaches about which
widget is focussed.

Michael
