How to bind key "<" in tkinter?

Question

My code:

from tkinter import *
import tkinter as tk

root = Tk()

def Hello():
    print("You press '<' key")

root.bind("<", Hello)
root.mainloop()

But I receive error:

_tkinter.TclError: no event type or button # or keysym

I tried "<<>" and "Shift-," but it does not work.

Probably you could clarify in words or images which key you want to bind (e.g. _less-than_ which is same as _open angle-bracket_ as opposed to _left-arrow_). Different interpretations already lead to discussion. — hc_dev, Aug 22 '21 at 13:42

What you're looking for is this:

root.bind("<less>", Hello)

You can find a compete list of Key-Synonyms in the original documentation of Tk.
