[Tutor] using the enter key

[Kent Johnson]

Here is a simple example. It is not well structured but it should give you the idea.

from Tkinter import *

def showText(evt):
     print 'Text is:', text.get('0.0', END)
     return 'break'  # Prevent the event from propagating to the Text widget

root = Tk()
text = Text()

# This line binds the showText handler to the <Return> key event
text.bind('<Return>', showText)
text.pack()
root.mainloop()
