Hey Noah, I recommend checking out Lundh's site (effbot) since he has lots of information on Tkinter there. Here's his Tkinter event page: http://effbot.org/tkinterbook/tkinter-events-and-bindings.htm And there's this (less helpful): http://docs.python.org/lib/node699.html There's a whole chapter on events Grayson's Tkinter book, but I'm not seeing constants defined. I think they might vary somewhat across platforms anyway...but hopefully someone else more knowledgeable will come along and address that. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
