I've attempted passing various references to the functions (parent, widget, etc) and modifying the function code accordingly, but haven't had any luck getting it to work. If I try to do the same thing, but from within a function (where textpop = tk.Toplevel()), it doesn't work any longer.

Selectbutton = tk.Button(textpop, text="Select All", command = textselect) Textarea.insert("1.0", "This is a test - Try to select all and copy!")Įxitbutton = tk.Button(textpop, text="Close", command = stroy)Įxitbutton.pack(side="right", padx=(5,20), pady=(0,20))Ĭopybutton = tk.Button(textpop, text="Copy", command = clipit)Ĭopybutton.pack(side="right",padx=5, pady=(0,20)) Textarea.pack(side="left", fill="both", padx=20, pady=20) Textpop.clipboard_append(textarea.get('1.0', 'end')) If I strip down the code as if I'm only working out of one window, everything works as expected: import tkinter as tk
#Select and copy birdfont how to
The issue I'm having, and I'm sure this will probably be a simple fix for somebody fluent in Python, is that I don't know how to properly reference everything when calling the select and copy functions from within other functions. All it contains is a text box with scrollbars and a few buttons that should allow the user to select all of the text, copy it to the clipboard, and close the window.

The new window is created by a function that is called by a menubar command in the root window. I've been building a program that will parse a list of information, build an array of collected variables, then load and populate an html template with those variables in a new Tkinter Toplevel window. It's less efficient and easy to use.I just started teaching myself Python in the last couple days to do some application programming and have previous experience developing websites with PHP. Of course, everything is now improved, and better, so naturally Been doing it for over a decade with various versions of FrontPage. The bulk of these items do not change from year to year, and so the most efficient way for me to copy, say, January 6, 2011's contents to JanuaryĦ, 2012's new almanac page has always been. The thing is, I publish a daily almanac, including lists of happenings (This Day In History, This Day In Music), etc. It is one of the shortcomings that makes you such a lamentable potion maker." "You do not understand fine distinctions. "You have no subtlety, 5280," continued Snape, his dark eyes glittering.

He paused for a moment, apparently savoring the pleasure of insulting "Here's the thing, 5280, layout tables are non-semantic and no longer recommended," sneered Professor Snape.

Here's the thing, Jesse, layout tables are non-semantic and no longer recommended (not for )īTW, this won't work, either, if you're talking about more than one cell: " I can place the cursor and scroll the page and try to stop where I want the highlighted material to stop," becauseĪs soon as you cross a cell boundary, EW immediately selects the entire contents of both cells, no matter where you start your selection. Given that EW4 completely removed the Layout Table menu selection, and the associated Properties panel, and one might get the idea that they're trying to discourage the use of tables for general purpose layout.

Shift-clicking within a cell selects all of the text within, while doing so across cell boundaries results in the full contents of all cells involved Placing the text cursor anywhere in a cell, then pressing Shift or Ctrl, causes the cursor to change to a thick, white, cross with a thinĮW will, as far as I can tell, only permit selecting text within a cell, and only then by click-dragging. The only time that I have encountered this is when someone is using tables for layout, and selecting text in cells.
