Tkinter on mac - Binding command-q to quit application

Hi All,

I'm attempting to develop a Tcl/Tk application on the mac using python
and Tkinter. The one problem I'm having is adding basic keyboard
support to my application, specifically binding command-q so that it
quits the application (this is standard behavior for almost every mac
application, the equivalent of alt-f4 on windows). Has anyone
successfully been able to do this? If so, could you please share some
code which demonstrates how?
If it matters, I've been working with both python 2.3.5 and python
2.4.1:
print sys.version; print "-"*30; print Tkinter.__versi on__ 2.3.5 (#1, Aug 22 2005, 22:13:23)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)]
------------------------------
$Revision: 1.177 $

and on python 2.4:
print sys.version; print "-"*30; print Tkinter.__versi on__

2.4.1 (#2, Mar 31 2005, 00:05:10)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1666)]
------------------------------
$Revision: 1.181.2.1 $
Thanks in advance,
Brandon

I'm new to Tkinter programming and am having trouble creating a reusable button bar... I want to be able to feed my class a dictionary of button names and function names, which the class will make. My button bar is implemented a Frame subclass, which takes the button dictionary as an argument and displays the buttons on the screen: class OptionsBar(Frame): def __init__(self, buttonDict, parent=None) Frame.__init__(self, parent)

Below is a simple code snippet showing a Tkinter Window bearing a canvas and 2 connected scrollbars (Vertical & Horizontal). Works fine. When you shrink/resize the window the scrollbars adjust accordingly. However, what I really want to happen is that the area of the canvas that the scrollbars show (the Scrollregion) should expand as the window grows. It doesn't currently do this. although, if the window shrinks smaller than the...

Hi, I get the following: hvr@LINUXBOXMicrocorp:~/Controller/libpython display.py UpdateStringProc should not be invoked for type font Aborted and I am back at the bash prompt - this is most frustrating, as there is no friendly traceback to help me guess where its coming from.

I have created a button widget with a button click binding. The button initially has a state=disabled. I can see the greyed out version of the button in the GUI. But If I click on the button it still invokes the callback/binding function. Any suggestions as to why the callback is being invoked even though the button has a disabled state. It looks like- b=Button(frame, text = "Button", state = 'disabled')

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
