[Tkinter-discuss] Text editing and tags...

[Vasilis Vlachoudis]

Hi all,

Considering the following code, it creates a Text() and adds the word "Red" with tag "red"
and "Normal" without  afterwords without any tag.
If you click the cursor in between the two letters d|N from (Red"d" and "N"ormal)
and you start typing, the newly inserted text will be black without out any tag associated.
Is there a way to change this behavior like the word processing editor where the
end of a tag is inclusive that if you start typing at the end of the tag it will assume
that is inside the tag-range and not outside?

import tkinter as tk
root=tk.Tk()
txt = tk.Text(root)
txt.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=tk.YES)
txt.insert(tk.END,"Red","red")
txt.insert(tk.END,"Normal")
txt.tag_configure("red", foreground="Red")
root.mainloop()

Many thanks
in advance
Vasilis
