Looking forward to an update on your search plugin, its
already really good.
I think that the Tk text widget has all of this stuff built
into it. Then you just need to lock it down a bit to
act like a Tk entry.
From http://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TkCmd/text.htm (under "Bindings"):
"[29]
Meta-backspace and Meta-Delete delete the word to the left of the
insertion cursor."
Unfortunately I don't seem to have a "Meta" key anywhere on my
keyboard.
Tried <ctrl>-delete, <alt>-delete, <fn>-delete, <Super>-delete,
finally
tried <ctrl>-<alt>-delete then logged in again. (Oops.)
I'm already using a combobox instead of an entry widget (to get a
drop-down history), and I have a feeling it would be a royal pain to
get the text widget to act like a combobox.
What's worse is that these default bindings don't seem to exist for
entry. Evidently no one who uses tk needs to delete whole words
unless
there are multiple lines...
The other thing to check is whether the ttk entry supports those
bindings. ttk is included in Tcl/Tk 8.5. The puredata 0.43 Debian/
Ubuntu/Mint package uses 8.5, and Pd-extended uses 8.5.
