I am not familiar with the callbacks used by the Text widget because I never
use callbacks.  I suggest you add a translation table entry that calls an
action procedure that you provide whenever a character you care about is
pressed.  One of the arguments to an action procedure is the XEvent that
triggered the procedure, so you can extract the typed character from there.
