Yes, I have the same problem. The annoyance is that the Tk list
widget doesn't allow editing inside the lists, which is why I have
the obnoxious 2-window solution. I was thinking of writing a modified
version of the list widget that would allow the entries to be widgets
instead of just text, but I haven't gotten around to doing it. The
C code for the Tk listbox widget is 3500 lines long. It might be
possible to hack a temporary solution by overlaying the text edit
widget as an unbordered child widget of the list box frame, positioned
directly over the listbox entry. I'll try playing around with that
solution to see if it can be made to work.
