event.type contains a numeric code (passed to the
callback as a string).  the attached dictionary maps
back from int(event.type) to the event name.

however, it's probably better to use one binding per
event type you need to handle, with distinct callbacks
and/or lambdas:

    widget.bind("<Any-Button>", lambda e, cb=callback: cb(e, "button"))
    widget.bind("<Any-Key>", lambda e, cb=callback: cb(e, "key"))
