Is your feature request related to a problem?

A method that will insert text at current caret position to an Entry widget. If some text is selected, it will replace it.

Is it possible to construct a solution with the existing API?

Yes, but it's complicated: you must get the current text, get the caret position (col,row) and convert this to a position in the text stream (no simple method to do this, especialy in multiline Entry), insert the text, then set the text.

Describe the solution you'd like to see.

widget.Entry.InsertText(text string)

Nice idea

A workaround I found is feed the clipboard with the text I want to insert, then call Past shortcut on the Entry
