In the previous example, you learned how to use the <Button-1> event to denote a left-click. This is a built-in pattern in Tkinter that maps it to a left-click event. Tkinter has an exhaustive mapping scheme that perfectly identifies events such as this one.
Here are some examples to give you an idea of event patterns:
|
The event pattern |
The associated event |
|
<Button-1> |
Left-click of the mouse |
|
<KeyPress-B> |
A keyboard press of the B key |
|
<Alt-Control-KeyPress- KP_Delete> |
A keyboard press of Alt + Ctrl + Del |
In general, the mapping pattern takes the following form:
<[event modifier-]...event type [-event detail]>
Typically, an event pattern will comprise the following:
- An event type: Some common event ...
