 | Appendix A Tk Widget Reference |  |
Entry widgets are simple one-line text widgets. They do not support tags, marks, or embedded windows. The indexing syntax is consequently simpler:
Index into its contents, starting from 0.
End of the text.
The position immediately after the insertion cursor.
.first, sel.lastIndicates the first and last character of a tag.
The index argument for all methods in Table A.7 accepts any of the styles described above.
