Heya @f0rdprefect
I've been asked to review your PR as I'm a Python dev.
Thanks for your contribution. I've added some comments.
Note that this is in no way critic on your work. I realize this has been vibecoded and the editor would work for your purposes. This is mostly a code review before @kefcom merges the PR.
Some changes needed for type safety, installation instructions, etc. See code reviews in diff for details.

Note that tkinter is NOT installed by default in the majority of Linux distro's. For Windows, it's required to install tkinter when installing Python (this is a checkbox in the installer). See error message below (this is on Linux Mint 22.2 Zara)
/home/sgilissen/_venvs/hackerjeopardy_editor/bin/python /home/sgilissen/gitdir/_others/hackerJeopardy/hackerjeopardy_editor/main.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/home/sgilissen/gitdir/_others/hackerJeopardy/hackerjeopardy_editor/main.py", line 1, in <module>
import tkinter as tk
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'tkinter'
Suggestion: Amend installation instruction in README.md to include tkinter installation

Type safety. While using TK stub types technically works, for type safety these should be replaced by their string literal types.
e.g.: instead of
main_frame.pack(fill=tk.BOTH, expand=True, padx=5, pady=5)
consider using the following:
main_frame.pack(fill="both", expand=True, padx=5, pady=5)
More examples:
- tk.BOTH → "both"
- tk.X → "x"
- tk.Y → "y"
- tk.NONE → "none"
- tk.LEFT → "left"
- tk.RIGHT → "right"
- etc.
You can have a look at the Tkinter sources (e.g. /usr/lib/python3.x/tkinter)

Same issue as line 295. Instead of "event", use "_event".
Pythonic idiom indicating "callback is passed by called function, but not used in this particular function".

nitpick: This is a static method.
Clean approach: use @staticmethod decorator, remove self keyword.
Example:
@staticmethod
def find_question_by_value(category, value):
"""Find a question in a category by its value"""
for question in category.questions:
if question.value == value:
return question
return None

I planned to use this nice project on a company event. The unity editor was kind of slow and hard to keep an overview so I let the AI reverse engineer the
.jeopardyformat and come up with a python editor instead.Maybe you find this useful to merge upstream.
