I've noticed that when you bind keys in tkinter (python3.2 winxp), the binds are case sensitive with the letter characters. In other words binding <Control-o>
does not work if you press Control+o if caps lock is active. Does it mean I need to write two bindings for each case insensitive key combination with letter characters? Or is there any way to solve this?
Thanks for help :)
Yes, you have to make two bindings.
You must bind twice in your case but you don't need to think about it once you write a clever function. Let's define a function that does this for us.
def bind_(widget, all_=False, modifier="", letter="", callback=None, add='',):
if modifier and letter:
letter = "-" + letter
if all_:
widget.bind_all('<{}{}>'.format(modifier,letter.upper()), callback, add)
widget.bind_all('<{}{}>'.format(modifier,letter.lower()), callback, add)
else:
widget.bind('<{}{}>'.format(modifier,letter.upper()), callback, add)
widget.bind('<{}{}>'.format(modifier,letter.lower()), callback, add)
And then use it like this:
bind_(text_widget, modifier="Control", letter="s", callback=save)
bind_(text_widget, modifier="Control-Shift", letter="s", callback=save_as)
bind_(text_widget, modifier="", letter="r", callback=print_something)
