describes what key symbol values can be used with bind (any other commands?).

[[What is a key symbol?]]

----
Open a wish session and type
  bind . <KeyPress> {puts %K}
Then press any key or key combination to learn the keysym for your desired key binding
----

Is there any way to use accented characters (as used in many European languages) in bindings?  I want, for example, Alt-e' (meant to be Alt pressed with an accented e) to be bound to a command. -- [CLN] 2001-06-11

[Peter Lewerin] 2001-06-30:

 bind . <Alt-Key-eacute> ...

would seem to do what you want, but possibly only if you actually have a � key to press.  At least for me, characters composed with dead keys don't fire the bindings, but character keys (e.g. adiaeresis on my keyboard) do.

[Mo] included in the Tk test suite
keypress-pertinent code.
He advises, "See the following procs in tk/tests/event.test:

_init_keypress_lookup
_keypress_lookup
_keypress
_keypress_string

With these commands you can do the following:

    _keypress_string $w HELLO\n

This will generate a keypress for each letter followed by an
event for the return key."
