First things first: we should ensure that we have some expected key-bindings happening within our Text widget. We'll collate these in a method called bind_events and call this method from within our __init__:
def __init__(self):
...
self.bind_events()
def bind_events(self):
self.bind('<Control-a>', self.select_all)
self.bind('<Control-c>', self.copy)
self.bind('<Control-v>', self.paste)
self.bind('<Control-x>', self.cut)
self.bind('<Control-y>', self.redo)
self.bind('<Control-z>', self.undo)This function now ensures that six commonly used keyboard shortcuts will perform their expected behaviors.
Since these behaviors are already handled by the Text widget (except for select_all), we only need to emit the relevant events in order to get them to function. The select_all method is the only one we need to perform the logic for:
def cut(self, event=None):
self.event_generate("<<Cut>>")
def copy(self, event=None...
