How to get Tkinter Mac-friendly menu shortcuts (cmd+key)
python, shortcut, tkinter
Solution
I think you would need to specify one of the Meta and M Modifiers listed at Tk Built-in Commands -- perhaps `Mod1` instead of `Control`. You might also find this list of keysyms recognized by Tk useful.
Although I've never actually every tried to do it -- if all else fails -- you might be able to determine what you need to know by writing your own event handler function `def handlerName(event):`, bind it to `'<Any-KeyPress>'` events, and then, in the function `print` the values of the attributes of the event argument being passed it when it's called -- such as `event.keycode`, `event.keysym`, `event.keysym_num`, etc -- thereby allowing you to see what to use for detecting ⌘-key modified keystrokes on your Mac.
Lastly, Python is open-source, so you can always try reading that.
Update: From the code in this answer it sounds like the `Command-` would work.
Problem
I am considering shortcuts for Tkinter menu labels (commands). On Macs the combination with cmd ⌘ is common. So far I have found only `self.bind_all("<Control-q>", self.quit)`. How to implement cmd ⌘ shortcuts? Then again, thinking about - once the app is finished - translating it to an executable file for Windows and a Mac application might cause difficulties when using cmd ⌘? What is the best way of dealing with this issue?
