key bindings - How to bind Ctrl+/ in python tkinter?

Question

<Control-Shift-Key-0>
<Control-Key-plus>

works but

<Control-Key-/>

doesn't.

I am unable to bind ctrl + / in python. Is there any documentation of all the possible keys?

Answer 1

Use <Control-slash>:

def quit(event):
    print "you pressed control-forwardslash"
    root.quit()

root = tk.Tk()
root.bind('<Control-slash>', quit)      # forward-slash
# root.bind('<Control-backslash>', quit)  # backslash
root.mainloop()

I don't have a link to a complete list of these event names. Here is a partial list I've collected:

| Ctrl-/                | Control-slash         |
| Ctrl-                | Control-backslash     |
