Keybinding in tkinter Python

Question

If I type '*' in keyboard, it should be typed as 'x' in the entry field. Below is the sample code. I'm new to tkinter.

from tkinter import *
def func(number):
    x = str(e1.get())
    e1.delete(0, END)
    e1.insert(0, str(x) + str('x'))
    
main = Tk()
main.geometry('200x50')
e1=Entry()
e1.bind('*',func)
e1.pack()
main.mainloop()

Here I'm getting 'x*'. But I need only 'x' to be typed in the entry field. Any suggestions will be really helpful.

Answer 1

You need to ignore the * character entered by returning 'break' at the end of func(). Also your logic will not work if the input cursor is not at the end of the input string.

Below is a modified func():

def func(event):
    # add the "x" at the insertion position
    event.widget.insert('insert', 'x')
    # ignore the entered "*" character
    return 'break'
