Hey Rob,
I actually started with that event, until I came across the modified
event. I'm working on syntax highlighting. So I need any text change.
Also, colorizing on a key release is annoyingly noticeable to the
user. I tried it :)

I'm sure there are going to be other perils along the way as this is
my first attempt at syntax highlighing. I can load a file and the
highlighting works very well. I used an elaborate regex with named
groups and re.finditer(). I either use the names directly as edit
tags, or they help me look up other tags in a dict. It's quite fast.

That part wasn't bad at all. Now I need to code the text change
logistics but this bindtags ordering has got me perplexed.
