[GRASS5] [bug #2794] (grass) "wish" window mouse wheel and TAB

this bug's URL: http://intevation.de/rt/webrt?serial_num=2794
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the "wish" window, does your mouse wheel scroll a long list of
files when it is offered? Indeed, the mouse wheel seems useless in
every part of the "wish" window.

Also the TAB key will jump nicely from item to item, until it gets
caught in the big shell dialog window at bottom and never makes it to
the four buttons on the very bottom.

Not sure, but I think this is a Tcl/Tk implementation issue & we can't
do a thing about it.

Also the TAB key will jump nicely from item to item, until it gets
caught in the big shell dialog window at bottom and never makes it to
the four buttons on the very bottom.

ditto. (can that window be made read only but still selectable for cut &
paste?)

Going backwards with "shift-tab" works.

Tk understands a MouseWhell event type, but the manpage implies that
it's specific to Windows. Alternatively, you may be able to bind
handlers to Button events for buttons 4 and 5.
