Stardand context menu in Python TKinter text widget when mouse right button is pressed

I found a way, thanks to this post. I made some modifications. At the bottom part there's a minimal main to try it.

from Tkinter import *def rClicker(e):    ''' right click context menu for all Tk Entry and Text widgets    '''    try:        def rClick_Copy(e, apnd=0):            e.widget.event_generate('<Control-c>')        def rClick_Cut(e):            e.widget.event_generate('<Control-x>')        def rClick_Paste(e):            e.widget.event_generate('<Control-v>')        e.widget.focus()        nclst=[               (' Cut', lambda e=e: rClick_Cut(e)),               (' Copy', lambda e=e: rClick_Copy(e)),               (' Paste', lambda e=e: rClick_Paste(e)),               ]        rmenu = Menu(None, tearoff=0, takefocus=0)        for (txt, cmd) in nclst:            rmenu.add_command(label=txt, command=cmd)        rmenu.tk_popup(e.x_root+40, e.y_root+10,entry="0")    except TclError:        print ' - rClick menu, something wrong'        pass    return "break"def rClickbinder(r):    try:        for b in [ 'Text', 'Entry', 'Listbox', 'Label']: #            r.bind_class(b, sequence='<Button-3>',                         func=rClicker, add='')    except TclError:        print ' - rClickbinder, something wrong'        passif __name__ == '__main__':    master = Tk()    ent = Entry(master, width=50)    ent.pack(anchor="w")    #bind context menu to a specific element    ent.bind('<Button-3>',rClicker, add='')    #or bind it to any Text/Entry/Listbox/Label element    #rClickbinder(master)    master.mainloop()

Thought I would share my solution, based on several code snippets on stackoverflow. It includes a minimum application to test:

edit: class bindings might not work. Should that be the case use normal bindings and return "break" in the select_all functions.

import Tkinter as tkif 1:  # nice widgets    import ttkelse:    ttk = tkclass EntryPlus(ttk.Entry):    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):        ttk.Entry.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)        _rc_menu_install(self)        # overwrite default class binding so we don't need to return "break"        self.bind_class("Entry", "<Control-a>", self.event_select_all)          self.bind("<Button-3><ButtonRelease-3>", self.show_menu)    def event_select_all(self, *args):        self.focus_force()        self.selection_range(0, tk.END)    def show_menu(self, e):        self.tk.call("tk_popup", self.menu, e.x_root, e.y_root)class TextPlus(tk.Text):    def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):        tk.Text.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)        _rc_menu_install(self)        # overwrite default class binding so we don't need to return "break"        self.bind_class("Text", "<Control-a>", self.event_select_all)          self.bind("<Button-3><ButtonRelease-3>", self.show_menu)    def event_select_all(self, *args):        self.focus_force()                self.tag_add("sel","1.0","end")    def show_menu(self, e):        self.tk.call("tk_popup", self.menu, e.x_root, e.y_root)def _rc_menu_install(w):    w.menu = tk.Menu(w, tearoff=0)    w.menu.add_command(label="Cut")    w.menu.add_command(label="Copy")    w.menu.add_command(label="Paste")    w.menu.add_separator()    w.menu.add_command(label="Select all")            w.menu.entryconfigure("Cut", command=lambda: w.focus_force() or w.event_generate("<<Cut>>"))    w.menu.entryconfigure("Copy", command=lambda: w.focus_force() or w.event_generate("<<Copy>>"))    w.menu.entryconfigure("Paste", command=lambda: w.focus_force() or w.event_generate("<<Paste>>"))    w.menu.entryconfigure("Select all", command=w.event_select_all)        if __name__ == "__main__":    class SampleApp(tk.Tk):        def __init__(self, *args, **kwargs):            tk.Tk.__init__(self, *args, **kwargs)            self.entry = EntryPlus(self)            self.text = TextPlus(self)            self.entry.pack()            self.text.pack()            self.entry.insert(0, "copy paste")            self.text.insert(tk.INSERT, "copy paste")    app = SampleApp()    app.mainloop()

Thanks to Gonzo's code and bluish '<Control-c>', my textwidget right button worked.I don't have 50 reputations but I had a problem which I faced that the right button will trigger the function regardless of the location of the point clicked.figured that out by:

    def show_menu(self, e):       if e.widget==self.text:          self.tk.call("tk_popup", self.menu, e.x_root, e.y_root)

Now only the right button's popup will be triggered when you click on text widget.
