A.3 Entry
Entry widgets are simple one-line text widgets. They do not support tags, marks, or embedded windows. The indexing syntax is consequently simpler:
- number
-
Index into its contents, starting from 0.
- end
-
End of the text.
- insert
-
The position immediately after the insertion cursor.
-
sel
.first , sel.last -
Indicates the first and last character of a tag.
The index argument for all methods in Table A.7 accepts any of the styles described above.
