tkinter text <Key> event

[Jay]

I'm having trouble with using the <Keyevent with the Text object.
When I use them together (which is a logical combination), I use this
code:

textbox = Text(root, wrap="word", height=15, width=50)
textbox.bind("<Key>", resolveGlyphs)

def resolveGlyphs(event):
textBuf = textbox.get(1.0, END)
print(textBuf)

What it prints out for me is everything except for the last character
-- the one that triggered the event. How can I get the entire
contents?

I apologize if this has already been discussed. I searched and
couldn't find it.

bind the textbox to the <KeyReleaseevent because by then it has been
drawn on the Text widget. The <Keyevent is equivalent to the
<KeyPressevent

That makes sense, but it's not working.

Nevermind. It works. Sorry. I got my files mixed up! :-)
