This is in the obscure corners of the tcltk interface, as I am sure you already
realized...
I'm not even sure whether the "+" in bind .... +script is syntactically an
operator or part of the command.
However, it is usually not right to define named functions on the Tcl side and
mix them with the ones R/Tcl interface generate.
So I am thinking that if tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',evresp1) works, then to add
evresp2, you just need to get a "+" into whatever the evresp2 gets converted to.
And...
> tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',evresp1)
<Tcl>
> tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',paste0("+", .Tcl.callback(evresp2)))
<Tcl>
> tkevent.generate(wtop,'<<EVENT>>',data='abcdef')
evresp1 abcdef
evresp2 abcdef
<Tcl>
> tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>')
<Tcl> R_call 0x7f9769c764b0 %d
R_call 0x7f9769c79978 %d
-pd
PS. To answer my own question: yes, the "+" is part of the command because this
does not work:
> tkbind('all','<<EVENT>>',"+", evresp2)
Error in structure(.External(.C_dotTclObjv, objv), class = "tclObj") :
[tcl] wrong # args: should be "bind window ?pattern? ?command?".
