Re: tk bindings and readonly?

The bindRdOnly subroutine is not doing what you think it's doing. This subroutine is called during class initialization to setup default bindings, not to introduce new ones.

You can try the following instead -

$t->bind('Tk::Text', '<Control-s>', \&save_file);

Just a note: converters method of doing this binding is specific to just that widget, while Rogers method can be used if one wants to affect that binding on ALL Tk::Text widgets. I think it is an important difference, ie, if you had 2 Text Widgets and only wanted that key binding on a specific widget in your main window... you should use converters. ++ to both of you though	[reply]
