Wheel-over-text did not scroll. Tk dispatches through *bindtags*, not the parent chain -- a child's tags are (itself, its class, the toplevel, "all") -- so binding <Button-4>/<Button-5> on `content` was never consulted for an event over a Label sitting on top of it. Content that fills its viewport covers that frame completely, which is every screen this class exists for, so the mouse wheel was dead exactly where a user points it. Found while retiring leetcode-guard's hand-rolled _scrollable, which got this right by accident: it used bind_all, which works but installs the handler on every widget in the application, including other windows' scroll regions. Binding per descendant inside the existing _track_focus walk keeps it scoped, and reuses that walk's WeakSet so a repaint cannot stack duplicate handlers. Verified both directions under xvfb (Button-5 scrolls down, Button-4 back up) from an event generated on a Label, not on the canvas.

gatelock
Shared fullscreen lock-window + HMAC log-integrity backend, extracted from three personal automation tools that each independently implemented "lock the screen with a blocking overlay until a condition is met": diet_guard, wake_alarm, and screen-locker.
Why
All three reimplemented the same tkinter fullscreen mechanics (overrideredirect,
input grab, VT-switch disable) at different levels of maturity, and the
HMAC-signed-state module had already been hand-copied between two of them
because they live in separate repos. gatelock is the one place that logic
now lives.
Install
pip install "gatelock @ git+https://github.com/kuhyx/utils@gatelock-v0.1.1#subdirectory=gatelock"
Usage
import tkinter as tk
from gatelock import GateRoot, LockConfig, LockWindow
class MyGate:
def __init__(self, *, demo_mode: bool) -> None:
self.root = GateRoot()
self.root.on_callback_error = self._handle_callback_error
config = LockConfig(mode="soft" if demo_mode else "hard")
self._lock = LockWindow(self.root, config, hooks=self)
self._lock.setup()
# ... build your widgets ...
self._lock.grab_input()
def on_focus_ready(self) -> None:
self.my_entry.focus_force()
def on_callback_error(self) -> None:
self.close()
def on_close(self) -> None:
... # release any hardware/state held while locked
def close(self) -> None:
self._lock.close()
def run(self) -> None:
self._lock.run()
LockConfig's mode preset bundles the common combination ("soft" = topmost
only, typeable, WM-escapable; "hard" = overrideredirect + global grab +
VT-disable). Each axis (overrideredirect, grab, disable_vt,
grab_retry_ms) can be set explicitly to reproduce a consumer's exact prior
behavior where it diverges from the preset.
gatelock.log_integrity ports the HMAC-signed state module used by all three
projects; DEFAULT_HMAC_KEY_FILE (/etc/workout-locker/hmac.key) is
unchanged so existing signed history keeps verifying.
