Re: [MACTCL] Issue with keysyms when generating key events

[Trevor W. <pha...@me...>]

Russell,

Your script does not show the error I am speaking of.

Try my script again, this time enter a small bit if text into the widget.  Notice in the standard output that the keysym matches the char.

Next, click the playback button.  The standard output should now show the keysym value to be 'a' while the char value is correct.

Can you see this behavior occurring now?
