Re: [PATCH] Feature: custom guitool commands can now have custom keyboard shortcuts

[Harish Karumuthil <harish2704@gmail.com>]

Hi all, there is an update:

I added necessary error catching code so that, script will not crash if the
keybinding code is worng. Instead of crashing it will print error message.
The final patch will look something like this.

@Johannes Schindelin: In short, from your previous message I understand point.

1. shortcut codes like "<Control-,>" will only in Windows platform. It may not work in Linux / Mac.
2. We need do translate shortcut codes somehow ( using one-to-one maping ).

If this is correct, do you have any example on how to do one-to-one maping of a list of string on TCL ?
