Tkinter menus from keyboard

2008-03-26 Thread MartinRinehart
Tkinter defaults to, for example, Alt+f = File (if File is your first
menu name starting with f).

I'd like to assign my own letters and have them underscored, per the
universal standard. Can this be done?

Set the underline option to the index of the desired letter

Elegant simplicity in the dropdowns. Thanks!

Now, how about  main menu underscores?

BTW, this standard is not universal at all: e.g, there is no such  
convention on Macs. Not (only...) nitpicking: if your application has to  
run on a Mac, it may look weird if you use this option... But I never  
tested how it was handled on Macs.

My $0.02...

Thanks for the info. It's standard on Windows and Linux/KDE. GNOME,
anyone?
