Tkinter international bind

Question

Is there a way in Tkinter to bind a combination of keys that will work in all keyboard layouts? (bind by scancode)

For example, I need \'Control-Z\' bin

Thanks to @acw1668 for help!

You need to do something like this to use hotkeys with any language layout (the callback from this example is running when Control key is pressed, and prints the key that is pressed in the same time with Control:

from tkinter import *


def callback(event):
    if (event.state & 4 > 0):
        print("Ctrl-%s pressed" % chr(event.keycode))

root = Tk()
root.bind("", callback)
root.mainloop()

PS: This example was checked when English, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Amharic, Armenian, Greek, Georgian, French, Chinese, Japanese and other language layouts were used.
