I've got a script where a button gets pushed over and over: to cut down on the
carpal tunnel syndrome I'd like to have the button respond to presses of the
Enter key as well as mouse clicks; can somebody clue me in regarding how this is
done? Muchas gracias.

You'll have to arrange for the widget with keyboard focus to have a
binding for the "<Return>" event ("<Enter>" is a valid event name, but
it refers to the event generated when the mouse pointer enters a
widget). The called function would call the invoke() method on the
button.
You can create a binding on all widgets within a given toplevel by
making the binding on the toplevel itself.
Example:
import Tkinter
def c():
print "button invoked"
t = Tkinter.Tk()
b = Tkinter.Button( t, text="Do the thing", command=c)
t.bind("<Return >", lambda event: b.invoke())
e = Tkinter.Entry()
e.pack()
b.pack(anchor=T kinter.E)
t.mainloop()

PS To indicate to the user that hitting the Enter key will invoke a particular
button, create the widget with default="active ".

b = Button(master, command=do_some thing)
b.bind('<Return >', lambda event, key='<space>' : b.event_generat e(key))
I hope this helped

Thanks for replying, but what you suggest doesn't seem to be working. Nothing I
try gets the button to have focus in the first place. If I omit the part
corresponding to
e = Tkinter.Entry()
e.pack()
b.pack(anchor=T kinter.E)
then nothing happens, but if I include it, it's an error. Maybe you can point me
toward some kind of online resource? My favorite would be to get the knowledge
required for this one trick (invoking a button's function with a keypress
instead of a mouse click) without climbing any more of the Tkinter learning
curve (for now) than I need to.
Peace

It works just dandy here, and since you didn't provide the error text
there's really not much I can do for you.
Jeff
Sorry, that was 'my bad'. It actually does work. Thanks.

What I want to be able todo is select a line from the Text() window and
double click or whatever on it to open a new window with that selected
text as a paramater to the new window.

Does Tkinter provide a function that returns all the event descriptors
for a given widget class? I am looking for something similar to what
you get in Perl/Tk when you call bind() with a single explicit

$widget->bind( Tk::Button )
returns a list like

Hello everyone,
I am wondering if there is a way to use custom drawing in Tkinter.
I've been using it for few months, and all I know about custom drawing
is to draw directly on a Canvas with such methods as "create_line",
"create_rectangle", etc.
Now, the problem, is that I have already plenty of widgets on my
screen. I just want to draw over them, which is a bit difficult in my
comprehension of things.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
