Tk does: it's simply that the event "<Key>" is a short-cut for 
"<KeyPress>", called when the key is depressed, so before the insertion 
happened. To do a binding after the text has been inserted, the event is 
"<KeyRelease>".

For Ali's problem, I don't exactly understand what you want to do. When 
reading your mail, it seems to me that a sub-class of Tkinter.Text with a 
redefined "insert" method may do the trick. Or is it more complicated?
