    <p>I'd like to make menu items (in the menubar, not in a right click pop-up window) that can cut/copy/paste whatever text is selected.</p> <p><em>The equivalent keyboard commands already work without my having done anything to enable them</em>. For example, I can enter text in an entry box, cut it with Control-X, and paste it back (or elsewhere) with Control-C.</p> <p>The posts on the topic I've seen boil down to cut/copy/paste for individual widgets, but that already works. How do I make the menu items activate them?</p> <p>Thanks.</p> <p>EDIT: Just to be clear, The issues are:</p> <ul> <li>how to make the menu items for cut/copy act on whatever text is selected in any widget </li> <li>how to have the paste menu item paste text wherever the text cursor is</li> </ul> <p>Again, the key commands to do this (Control-x, Control-c, Control-v) already work without my having done anything. <em>I know how to make the menus</em>; the question is just what command I should attach to the menu items to have the desired effect.</p> <p>EDIT 2: Ok, I've got a way that works. Since the key commands already work, we can just generate them. In my case, everything is a a notebook named noteBook so </p> <p><code>lambda: self.noteBook.event_generate('&lt;Control-x&gt;')</code></p> <p>cuts as desired. For example:</p> <p><code>editmenu.add_command(label="Cut", accelerator="Ctrl+X", command=lambda: self.noteBook.event_generate('&lt;Control-x&gt;'))</code></p> <p>In use: <a href="https://github.com/lnmaurer/qubit-control-interface/commit/c08c10a7fbc4a637c1e08358fb9a8593dfdf116e" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/lnmaurer/qubit-control-interface/commit/c08c10a7fbc4a637c1e08358fb9a8593dfdf116e</a></p> <p><strong>Still, there's probably a cleaner way to do this; please reply if you know it.</strong></p>

    2. COJohn, as the text states, all that code does is print things to stdout for demonstration purposes. It does not address my question.

    3. COWhere? I searched for the word 'paste' (using the little entry area to the left) and it occurs 4 times. None of them address my question. The same goes for 'cut'. I'll believe that the information I'm looking for is in there if you point out the page; it certainly wasn't on the page you linked to.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
