canvas and key events

[Richard Chamberlain]

Hi Nick,

Yes there is.

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
canvas=Canvas(root)
canvas.pack()
def myDullEvent(event):
    print "Hallelujah! (is that how you spell it?)"
canvas.bind('<Key-a>',myDullEvent)
canvas.focus_set()
root.mainloop()

The only thing that is slightly tricky about it is that you need to make
sure the canvas has the focus
