[Tkinter-discuss] Focus for first key press

[Mark Summerfield]

Hi,

I have a couple of Tkinter applications and what I've noticed is that if
I do Alt+F as soon as they start (i.e., for Alt+F,N for New or Alt+F,O
for Open), the keypress is ignored! It works fine the second and all
subsequent times.

I've tried calling focus() on the invisible root window & on the topmost
visible window, but neither has any effect.

Can anyone tell me a solution?

Thanks!
