Frank Pilhofer's Reload, Refresh, ..., David Welton's endless reloads, Jeffrey Hobbs' use of "fresh" tkcon tabs [L1 ], as well as Keith Vetter's console resets [L2 ] ...
RS routinely puts into Tk-provided scripts under development these two lines:
bind . <Escape> {exec wish $argv0 &; exit} bind . <F1> {console show} ;# Windows only
With an interactive console, the following shortcut is often helpful:
interp alias {} ? {} set errorInfo
Another little helper to display canvas x/y coordinates in the title bar:
bind .c <Motion> {wm title . %x/%y}
LES: Hmm... I have this:
frame $::w.wframe text $::w.wframe.textw scrollbar $::w.wframe.sbar
Then I bind it:
bind $::w.wframe.textw <Motion> {wm title $::w "Position: %x/%y" }
It works, but only so far as I move the mouse around the text widget. It won't work when I move it over the scroll or title bar. Certainly because I made a binding for the text widget only. Instead, I should bind the mouse movement to the frame, because it contains everything, right?
bind $::w.wframe <Motion> {wm title $::w "Position: %x/%y" }
Wrong. Now it only works when I move the mouse over the scroll bar. But isn't the text widget contained in the frame too? What is wrong with my assumption?
And I guess it is impossible to detect mouse movement over the title bar?
