Practical Programming in Tcl & Tk, Third Edition

Event Keywords

Table 26-4 lists the percent keywords and the corresponding option to the event generate command. Remember that keyword substitutions occur throughout the command, regardless of other Tcl quoting conventions. Keep your binding commands short, introducing procedures if needed. For the details about various event fields, consult the Xlib Reference Manual (O'Reilly & Associates, Inc.). The string values for the keyword substitutions are listed after a short description of the keyword. If no string values are listed, the keyword has an integer value like a coordinate or a window ID.
