[TCLCORE] Translation + I10N

[<ldu...@sp...>]

Hi,

As you may have noticed, I've been pretty quiet of late. A combination
of vacations and extra work at the office is to blame. I've been
monitoring clt enough to see that noone seems to ave tried to attack the
-underline and the associated binding problem.

I think I'll try Jan's proposition (use \_) to begin. It requires a
small change to Tcl and another change to the way Tk displays text in
the buttons and stuff. I can try to figure out where that piece of code
is, but if one of you can point me to the proper location (I don't know
the Tk code that well yet) it could save me some time. Maybe not, who
knows.

Using this approach, I could always extend msgcat to know what the
binding for a string should be. Somthing like

set key [::msgcat::bindkey $string]
bind <Alt-$key> ....

proc ::msgcat::bindkey {string} {
  set idx [string first "\_" $string]
  if {$idx > 0} {
    return [string index $string [expr {$idx-1}]]
  }
}

or something. 

One issue is what to do if -underline and \_ are used simultaneously.
