The Tcl/Tk toolkit runs under X11 so this is really a function of your  
X11. Once you select the text you can use the shortcuts defined for  
X11 so in a stock Apple X11 on both 10.4.1 and 10.5.8 <Cmd><C> works  
just fine. You failed to show any relevant code so I can only guess  
what you mean so I use this:

library(tcltk)
tt<-tktoplevel()
t<-tktext(tt)
tkpack(t)

Cheers,
Simon
