I have a question about translation tables wrt key events.

This is what I want to do:

using the text widget I want to add another action called interrupt (say)
and bind it to ctrl-C (say). However it appears that I can not do this
if the initial translation table doesn't contain an explicit translation for
ctrl-C (is my interpretation correct?).

Would it not be nicer if, for key events, the application was able to add extra
key translations without the widget having to put in every possible
combination of key strokes and modifiers? I suppose the same should go for
button events as well.

This is a little confusing, I hope you understand what I am trying to say!!
