[Tkinter-discuss] Anaconda

[bob]

This is handy. Instead of <Button-3> stock/default/unfiddled-with Anaconda Tkinter is calling it <Button-2>. My Tkinter programs have been around since 2004. I've never had to watch for <Button-2>. It must be in some configuration file somewhere, but I'll just watch for it. Don't want the user to have to mess around and change things.

Never mind. :)

Binding <Button-1> to a rectangle works fine (displays info about the point when clicked), but binding to <Button-3> doesn't work (it should "zap" the point out of the list and redraw the plot). The function for zapping never gets called, and there's no errors in the Terminal/xterm. It doesn't work with the Python 2 or 3 environment. Tcl/Tk versions are 8.6/8.6 in both environments. Shift-clicking, control-clicking, shift-control-clicking on the canvas or created items seems fine. Just this <Button-3> deal doesn't.
