    <p>Mac OS X 10.6.6 - Tkinter</p> <p>I want to bind multiple-key events, and while I have found an effbot article and the Tk man pages, I've been unable to make this work correctly. I'm new here.</p> <p>I've had mixed success. I've been able to get Shift + letter key, but not Control or Command (Apple key). What I really want to do is Command + letter and Control + letter key so it would theoretically work in Windows and OS X.</p> <p>I want it to work at window-level, so I'm using root. Perhaps there is a better way. Below is what I've tried:</p> <pre><code>root.bind('&lt;Shift-E&gt;', self.pressedCmdE) # Works root.bind('e', self.pressedCmdE) # Works root.bind('&lt;Command-E&gt;', self.pressedCmdE) # Does Not Work #root.bind('&lt;Mod1-E&gt;', self.pressedCmdE) # # Do Mod1, M1, and #root.bind('&lt;M1-E&gt;', self.pressedCmdE) # # Command mean the same thing? </code></pre> <hr> <p>Strangely, when I press alt/option + (E, N, or others) it creates an error. Is it interacting with PythonLauncher?</p> <pre><code>2011-06-16 16:19:22.618 Python[1546:d07] An uncaught exception was raised 2011-06-16 16:19:22.621 Python[1546:d07] *** -[NSCFString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds 2011-06-16 16:19:22.622 Python[1546:d07] *** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSRangeException', reason: '*** -[NSCFString characterAtIndex:]: Range or index out of bounds' *** Call stack at first throw: ( 0 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff85b397b4 __exceptionPreprocess + 180 1 libobjc.A.dylib 0x00007fff848b90f3 objc_exception_throw + 45 2 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff85b395d7 +[NSException raise:format:arguments:] + 103 3 CoreFoundation 0x00007fff85b39564 +[NSException raise:format:] + 148 4 Foundation 0x00007fff866eb5e1 -[NSCFString characterAtIndex:] + 97 5 Tk 0x0000000100759bcf Tk_SetCaretPos + 663 6 Tk 0x000000010075fd94 Tk_MacOSXSetupTkNotifier + 699 7 Tcl 0x000000010061d2ae Tcl_DoOneEvent + 297 8 _tkinter.so 0x00000001001d9be9 init_tkinter + 1132 9 Python 0x0000000100089187 PyEval_EvalFrameEx + 15317 10 Python 0x000000010008acce PyEval_EvalCodeEx + 1803 11 Python 0x000000010008935e PyEval_EvalFrameEx + 15788 12 Python 0x000000010008acce PyEval_EvalCodeEx + 1803 13 Python 0x000000010008ad61 PyEval_EvalCode + 54 14 Python 0x00000001000a265a Py_CompileString + 78 15 Python 0x00000001000a2723 PyRun_FileExFlags + 150 16 Python 0x00000001000a423d PyRun_SimpleFileExFlags + 704 17 Python 0x00000001000b0286 Py_Main + 2718 18 Python 0x0000000100000e6c start + 52 ) terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException' Abort trap </code></pre>
