| ----------------------------------------------------
| from Tkinter import *
|
| root = Tk()
|
| t1 = Text(root)
| t1.pack(side=TOP)
|
| t2 = Text(root)
| t2.pack(side=TOP)
|
| def focusNext(widget):
|    widget.tk_focusNext().focus_set()
|    return 'break'
|
| def focusPrev(widget):
|    widget.tk_focusPrev().focus_set()
|    return 'break'
|
| for t in (t1, t2):
|    t.bind('<Tab>', lambda e, t=t: focusNext(t))
|    t.bind('<Shift-Tab>', lambda e, t=t: focusPrev(t))
|
| t1.focus_set()
|
| root.mainloop()
