Is there any way to detect which keys are currently pressed using Tkinter? I don't want to have to use extra libraries if possible. I can already detect when keys are pressed, but I want to be able to check at any time what keys are pressed down at the moment. ...
I would like to be able to allow a user to view the output of a long-running GCI script as it is generated rather than after the script is complete.
