That's more complicated than it needs to be. I'll give you the same
advice as I just gave someone else: are you aware of "bind_all" and
Tkinter's bindtags? That is a much cleaner way to implement global
bindings IMO. The advantage to "bind_all" is that individual widgets
can override the default bindings if they want (eg: if you want
control-o to mean something totally different only in one widget, you
can).
