Set default caret position inside entry widget in Tkinter Python

Question

I want to set the default cursor location inside the entry widget when I run the program.

So when I run it I don't have to click inside the widget to start typing.

Here is my minimal code:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

e = tk.Entry(root)
e.pack()

tk.mainloop()

Answer 1

Simply call the focus method for the widget:

import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

e = tk.Entry(root)
e.pack()
e.focus()

tk.mainloop()
