[issue34455] Tkinter crashing when pressing Command + ^ (OSX)

Kevin Walzer added the comment: We have committed some fixes to the keyboard code in the past year that seem to have fixed this issue. I do not see it in 8.6.10, now as a RC. I believe this bug is obsolete at this point. -- ___ Python tracker

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Aivar, thank you for opening the issue. I believe what I meant about tkinter bind calls would be to conditionallly bind '' to a function that returns 'break', thus claiming that the key combination has been handled and that tk should ignore it. The

Ned Deily added the comment: The crash can also be reproduced with a Spanish keyboard selected and using the Tcl/Tk wish shell edit text demo. So it's definitely not a Python (tkinter or IDLE) issue. I see that Kevin Walzer, the primary maintainer for Tk on macOS, is CC here. If anyone

iPodClassic added the comment: I see. Well, I guess as far as I can go is to notify about the bug. The part about adding tkinter bind calls I have no idea. Should we just close this bug report as postponed or something? Thanks for the help and explanation though! I guess the more I get into

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I should have been more specific. I meant to run the file directly with python, with IDLE not involved. "python3 .../path/to/tk_scroll.py". Howver, running it from an IDLE editor and editing in the resulting non-IDLE text window is almost as good. This

iPodClassic added the comment: Thanks for the more detailed and further explanation. So we at least know it’s bound to spanish keyboards only. I wouldn’t even call it a bothersome bug except the key combo you press is very similar to when you try to enter a [ key (option+^) ; so you end up

Ronald Oussoren added the comment: FWIW I can reproduce the problem with IDLE and tk_scroll.py: 1) Add a spanish keyboard layout in System Preferences (my normal layout is US International, matching the text on the keyboard) 2) Select this keyboard using the keyboard menu item 3) Type

iPodClassic added the comment: Noted the issue with the email replies, sorry! Do you want me to place the file in any folder in particular? Remember I’m a noob at this. I placed it in the Python app folder, ran the script, played around with IDLE and I can still crash it using command + ^ .

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Please download and run https://bugs.python.org/file47676/tk_scroll.py. It is a very stripped-down version of an IDLE editor window. After making a couple of edits, to make sure it is working, hit the fatal key combination. Does it still crash?

iPodClassic added the comment: Hello Terry. I installed 3.7 from Python.org First time it crashed, I was playing around with some basic code (I’m learning), whilst trying to enter [ character (which is option + ^key in spanish keyboard), by mistake I pressed command (key next to option) and

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: I believe NSException crashes are due to interaction between tcl/tk and the Mac graphics subsystem, in this case for 10.11.6. Did you install 3.7 with the python.org installer or something else? How did you start IDLE and what state was it in when you hit
