I was curious about this too.

To find out, add something like this:

       root.bind "Key" do |stuff|
         p stuff, stuff.methods
       end

Then press a key in your window. It turns out that the "stuff" is an 
Event instance, and it has @keysym="h", and there are #keycode and 
#keysym methods.

If you add the line

         p stuff.keycode, stuff.keysym

then you can see that pressing the "h" key gives this output:

43
"h"

So probably the #keysym method is what you want.
