Hi Johannes Schindelin, Regarding your messages, > However, it might not even need to put in _such_ a lot of work: in my > tests, `Control-,` worked just as well as `Control-comma`.

My tclsh version is "8.6". The script crashed with following error message --- bad event type or keysym "," while executing "bind . <Control-,> { set keysym "You pressed %K" }" (file "./test.tcl" line 6) --- The complete ( or modified ) script which I used is given below --- package require Tk set keysym "Press any key" pack [label .l -textvariable keysym -padx 2m -pady 1m] #bind . <Key> { bind . <Control-,> { set keysym "You pressed %K" } --- >From the error messages, I understand that, "<Control-,>" will not work instead of "<Control-comma>" . > > So I could imagine that something like this could serve as an initial > draft for a function that you can turn into a "good enough" version: > > -- snip -- > proc QKeySequence2keysym {keystroke} { > regsub -all {(?i)Ctrl\+} $keystroke "Control-" keystroke > regsub -all {(?i)Alt\+} $keystroke "Alt-" keystroke > regsub -all {(?i)Shift\+} $keystroke "Shift-" keystroke > return $keystroke > } > -- snap -- > > That way, you don't have to introduce settings separate from > `git-cola`'s, and you can reuse the short-and-sweet variable name. If my previous observation is correct, then we may have to translate a list of key names ( in addition to atl,ctrl & shirt ) to get it working . > Ciao, > Johannes
