Monks-

I want to add (maybe delete) some items from the default menu that comes up when you click <button-3> in a ptk Text window. How can I do this?

The attached code can be used to bring up this default menu. Run the code and right-click-and-hold in the empty text window. You should see a menu containing File, Edit, Search, View.

You'll notice that I'm trying to use bindtags to figure out how this is bound to the text widget by default, but I don't understand the output.

This seems like a very general question that an FAQ should have, but I've failed to find any useful information with my google searches. I got this code from Mastering Perl/Tk (The bindtags Command), but it doesn't seem to be leading in the right direction. Please point me to anything helpful.

Thanks

use strict;
use warnings;

use Tk;

# Create new text window...
my $top = MainWindow->new();

# Put in the files text box second...
my $txt = $top->Text->pack(-expand=>1, -fill=>'both');

foreach my $tag ($txt->bindtags) {
    print STDERR "$tag has these bindings:\n";
    print STDERR $txt->bind($tag), "\n";
}

MainLoop();

Update: Changed references from <button-2> to <button-3>
