How to bind Ctrl+/ in python tkinter?

Question

<Control-Shift-Key-0>
<Control-Key-plus>

works but

<Control-Key-/>

doesn't.

I am unable to bind ctrl + / in python. Is there any documentation of all the possible keys?

Answer 1

Use <Control-slash>:

def quit(event):
    print "you pressed control-forwardslash"
    root.quit()

root = tk.Tk()
root.bind('<Control-slash>', quit)      # forward-slash
# root.bind('<Control-backslash>', quit)  # backslash
root.mainloop()

I don't have a link to a complete list of these event names. Here is a partial list I've collected:

| event                 | name                  |
| Ctrl-c                | Control-c             |
| Ctrl-/                | Control-slash         |
| Ctrl-\                | Control-backslash     |
| Ctrl+(Mouse Button-1) | Control-1             |
| Ctrl-1                | Control-Key-1         |
| Enter key             | Return                |
|                       | Button-1              |
|                       | ButtonRelease-1       |
|                       | Home                  |

|                       | Tab                   |
|                       | space                 |
|                       | BackSpace             |
|                       | KeyRelease-BackSpace  |
| any key release       | KeyRelease            |
| escape                | Escape                |
|                       | F1                    |
|                       | Alt-h                 |

Here is a list of all the tk keysysm codes: https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/keysyms.htm

The two I was looking for was <Win_L> and <Win_R>.
