In “bind\_remove\_all” (and many other commands), what is the required  
‘context’ argument supposed to be.

Thanks,

Thanks. In English terms, ‘context’ isn’t quite the right word for  
that, and I would never have guessed  
it referred to an event spec (with which I am familiar).

One off-topic question; anyone know how to specify an event sequence  
that would indicate\_all\_  
events? Would \<\> do it? Will have to try…

Thanks again,  
Ken

Please give an event sequence (see also Tcl/Tk’s “bind” manual).

```
                         Tcl/Tk ==> Ruby/Tk

```

an event pattern “mod-mod-type-detail”  
an event sequence … [“pat”, “pat”, … ,  
“pat”]  
a virtual event \<\> “”

I think so too. 🙂  
That was used before my first contact with Ruby.

I’m very sorry, but I cannot understand what you want to do.
