How to force Tkinter text widget to stay on one line?

Tkinter text widget can be configured by using the configure(**options) function. We can use it to configure the background color, foreground color, wrapping and other properties of the text widget.

The wrap properties of the Text widget describe that the cursor changes its position whenever it detects a new line. However, in Tkinter, the text widget can be wrapped by words and characters. In order to make our text widget to stay in one line, we can use wrap=None property.

Example

# Import the required libraries
from tkinter import *
import lorem

# Create an instance of tkinter frame or window
win=Tk()

# Set the size of the window
win.geometry("700x350")

# Add a Text widget
text=Text(win, width=60, height=20)
text.pack()

# Add Some text into it
text.insert(END,lorem.sentence())

# Configure the text widget to make the text sticky on one line
text.configure(wrap=None)

win.mainloop()

Output

Running the above code will display a text widget that will have its text wrapped to None.
