I plan to support all of the Tk key symbols in that [key( message
but I haven't found an easy way to do that yet. Here's the list of
symbols used for keys in Tcl/Tk:

Basically, in Tcl, I need a way to insert the character using the key
symbol.

Thanks, Hans, once again, I hit just reply instead of reply to all...
I did a quick test on the key message, and it appears that some
keys are still not allowed. Such things as a double quote ("), a
percent sign (%), and left bracket ([) (but it does allow a right
bracket), the backslash () and a tilde (~). All of these
characters can be typed directly into the [text] widget.While I know some of the characters are special in PD, some of
these things are probably needed to support the full character set
that SQL can recognize.I was hoping that I could use a [text] object as a buffer to create
multiple SQL statements that would get sent to the server as a
group. I kind of think this would be useful in storing data in a
database, in hopes of keeping down the number of things sent to the
server at once. I was toying with the idea of adding this to the
SQL external itself, but I seem to be running into a problem that I
can't troubleshoot, as it doesn't appear to have any rhyme or
reason as to why it acts that way.Thanks for your help,
Mike

I cc'ed the list since it's of general interest.
This message is called [append( for lists/atoms and [key( for
individual keystrokes (i.e. "space" makes a space char)..hc

Hans,
I was wondering if it would be possible to add some messages that
[text] would use to append its buffer? I would think things
similar to what a message box already understands, things like
'add', 'add2', 'addsemi', 'addcomma', 'adddollar', and
'adddollarsym'.Or is there something already in place?

Right, not directly. This hopefully will allow people to do

Since each key typed outputs a [key ( messages from the right
status
outlet, it would be possible to make an object which would let you create messages separated by commas, if you wanted.
I was playing with 'entry' in the 4 extended (one of the nightly
build
from last week), and I noticed that there was not an indication of there being a second outlet on the right, but it is there.
Fix in CVS>
I also noted that there is no 'help' file for it, but it was there in
the 39
extended.
Yeah, the help file problem is thruout 0.40.3-extended builds
AFAIK...Also, is there some way to change the font size? As it is right now the font is really small.
Coming soon... :) (or build tkwidgets from source)
