Hi Alan,
Thank you so much for guiding me towards this. I am new to tkinter hence
not aware of all these features.
I am trying to find some simple examples, of how to use copy/paste/cut. I
do not have a text box, but a GUI similar to a word editor. I was wondering
if you could direct me towards or show me towards some simple examples of
the same, so that it would be easier to understand. I was learning from
youtube videos about this.
It would be a huge help. Thank you so much
Pooja
