[issue46052] Ctrl+C, C+V in IDLE on Windows do not work with Cyrillic keys

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

IDLE is a tkinter application and tkinter wraps the tcl/tk GUI framework. Your problem is mostly in the interaction between Windows, your Cyrillic input method, and tk.  As a test, run

import tkinter as tk
r = tk.Tk()
t = tk.Text(r)
t.pack()

Click in the box, type something, and try Ctrl-X, -C, -V.  If they work, we can add explicit bindings somewhat similar to those IDLE makes.

Also, how do you make your keyboard a Cyrillic keyboard.

EP, are you aware of any related tk issues?  Serhiy, do you know of any specific problems with Cyrillic and tkinter/tk?
