tk global bindings

[Gabriel B.]

I'm starting to write a POS application UI's module.

There's no mouse, just a bunch of global shortcuts.

the problem is that TK doesn't have global shortcuts! Is there a
work-around or i will have to attach 80 or so bindings for every input
element?

Thanks,
Gabriel

In Tk here are three levels of binding: instance binding, class binding,
and application binding represented by the bind, bind_class, and
bind_all methods. You're probably looking for the the bind_all method,
as in self.bind_all("<SomeKey>", self.onSomeKey)

Oh and you of course __must__ look at the (recently updated!) New Mexico
Tech tkinter document at:
http://infohost.nmt.edu/tcc/help/pubs/tkinter.pdf

See page 75 and follwing for more info on keyboard bindings...

Thanks, i was looking down that doc because the first thing i looked
into it was the pack method and it talked about the grid only

....i'm still using "practical programing in Tcl and Tk" for my tk needs :)

thanks again,
Gabriel
