The [bind] manpage really assumes a deep knowledge of
X, and there are many of
its mysteries that I am still a long way from
penetrating (all the Focus related
stuff is particularly gnostic...) Documentation
improvements (particularly ones
that state when an event might be generated by the
system) would be gladly
accepted...

In particular, bind(n) states:
Most of the above events have the same fields
and behaviors
as events in the X Windowing system. You can
find
more detailed descriptions of these events in any
X window
programming book.
This section should be replaced with an actual detailed
description,
for the benefit of those who don't want to buy a book
on X :-)

Revised patch adds some. No guarantees concerning accuracy or completeness :-) jenglish added on 2003-08-07 03:01:21: File Added - 58023: bind.n.patch jenglish added on 2003-08-07 03:01:20: Logged In: YES user_id=68433 OK, a year and a half later, I've finally gotten around to this. See attached patch; preformatted version at <URL: http://tmml.sourceforge.net/doc/tk/bind.html > (see section "EVENT TYPES"). I couldn't figure out how to explain the %d (detail) field for FocusIn/FocusOut/Enter/Leave evnts in fewer than six paragraphs, so I just gave up on it, saying only that "<FocusIn>" indicates that the target window or one of its descendants has the focus, and "<FocusOut>" means the focus has left the hierarchy. | |||
