Hi,

I don't think keypress bindings work properly in
Tkinter. When I bind "<Any-KeyPress>" to a method of a
Frame-derived class, it does not work under Windows XP
(not sure about other OSes).

Here is a code snippet I am using. Please, see the file
attached for the actual code.

Thanks,
..Roman

the canvas doesn't have keyboard focus, so all keyboard
events goes elsewhere. to move focus to the canvas, call
self.canvas.focus_set() at the appropriate place (e.g. in the
onButton1 handler)
