Subject: ROText not completely read-only
There are a few issues with ROText: - tabs and newlines can be freely inserted - text can be removed using the keyboard shortcut for "Cut" (e.g. Ctrl-X, Cmd-X) All of these can be performed from the main window widgetTclpTk. I don't think this is OS-specific since it happens on both Linux and macOS.

ROText in Tcl::Tk doesn't seem to have any of these issues. I would consider borrowing it, but it's using a very different approach that relies on snit (from tcllib extension, which Tcl::pTk doesn't already require), and I haven't verified it's a 100% Perl/Tk compatible approach.

Tcl::Tk does include snit (i.e. loaded from a .pm) as a fallback, though.

Technically, Tcl::pTk should already have required tcllib, because it uses the tooltip package from tklib, and tklib requires tcllib (though I don't know if that requirement can be relaxed in certain cases). I have already updated the Makefile.PL and test-for-tk.tcl to check for tklib. So it should be safe to use snit.

The text can also be changed with many other UNIX-like bindings like Ctrl-H and Ctrl-D. ROText in Tcl::pTk is probably a lot more broken than I thought…
