You can disable the default key commands in tkinter by overriding the default behavior of the keys that you want to disable. Here's an example of how you can disable the Ctrl+C key command (copy) in a tkinter application:

 1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
import tkinter as tk

root = tk.Tk()

def disable_copy(event):
    if event.keycode == 67 and event.state == 4:  # keycode for Ctrl+C
        return 'break'

root.bind_all('<Key>', disable_copy)

root.mainloop()


In this example, we use the bind_all method to bind all key events to the disable_copy function. Inside the function, we check if the key pressed is Ctrl+C and if it is, we return 'break' to prevent the default copy behavior. You can modify this code to disable other key commands as needed.
