Copy paste in entry widget

[Michael Onfrek]

Hi,
is copy, paste, cut of selection possible in entry widget? Docs say
selection must be copied by default, in my programm it doesn't work.
Regards, M.O.

Linux, Windows. TkInter, Pmw.
I've already implemented this with code under my message, but "cut"
copies entrytext, without deleting selection. Any ideas

def copy(self):
global copied
if self.entry.selection_present():
self.entry.clipboard_clear()
copied = self.entry.selection_get()
self.entry.bell()
def paste(self):
self.entry.insert(END, copied)
def cut(self):
global copied
self.entry.clipboard_clear()
if self.entry.selection_present():
copied = self.entry.selection_get()
self.entry.selection_clear()
self.entry.bell

I need it for Linux, so far only TkInter used.

Hear it is

def paste(self):
self.entry.event_generate('<Control-v>')
def cut(self):
self.entry.event_generate('<Control-x>')
def copy(self):
self.entry.event_generate('<Control-c>')
