Re^5: Windows Tk issue Copy and Paste Russian keyboard

I'm not in a position to test this, but the internet suggests that Tk can also bind to a keycode, not only a character, but the solutions seem to be to bind to all keys using KeyPress and then to look at the keycode in the event.

Yes, it is possible. The following code reads the keycode: `use strict; use warnings; use Tk; my $name; my $mw = MainWindow->new(); my $entry = $mw->Entry( -textvariable => \$name )->pack(); $mw->bind("<KeyRelease>" => sub { warn $_[0]->XEvent->k; }); $mw->MainLoop(); exit(0);` [download] I should then mimic the combination of Ctrl+C/V, and the copy and paste rutines. I am not sure if this is the way to go, but at the moment it seems the only alternative to use copy and paste in Tk with all (?) keyboard layouts.	[reply] [d/l]
