* bpo-45296: Clarify close, quit, and exit in IDLE (GH-30936) (GH-30944)Miss Islington (bot)2022-01-271-4/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | In the File menu, 'Close' and 'Exit' are now 'Close Window' (the current one) and 'Exit' is now 'Exit IDLE' (by closing all windows). In Shell, 'quit()' and 'exit()' mean 'close Shell'. If there are no other windows, this also exits IDLE. (cherry picked from commit fcde0bc10ddd836b62d0a8e893d80b8c55e0ba3f) Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu> Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>

* bpo-43723: Deprecate camelCase aliases from threading (GH-25174)Jelle Zijlstra2021-04-121-1/+1
| | | | | | The snake_case names have existed since Python 2.6, so there is no reason to keep the old camelCase names around. One similar method, threading.Thread.isAlive, was already removed in Python 3.9 (bpo-37804).
* bpo-42225: IDLE - document two unix-related problems. (#25078)Terry Jan Reedy2021-03-311-2/+17
| | | | 1. Bad IP masquerade rules can prevent startup. 2. X cannot handle some complex colored chars.
* bpo-43283: Add IDLE doc paragraph about print speed (GH-24615)Terry Jan Reedy2021-02-241-0/+9
| | | | | | Printing to IDLE's Shell is often slower than printing to a system terminal, but it can be made faster by pre-formatting a single string before printing.
* bpo-43283: Rearrange some IDLE doc paragraphs. (GH-24604)Terry Jan Reedy2021-02-211-14/+15
| | | | | In the Running User Code section, gather together paragraphs about two processes and the sys.stdstream replacements, preparing to add another.

* bpo-37765: Add keywords to IDLE tab completions (GH-15138)Terry Jan Reedy2020-07-091-42/+48
| | | | | | | Keywords are present in the main module tab completion lists generated by rlcompleter, which is used by REPLs on *nix. Add all keywords to IDLE's main module name list except those already added from builtins (True, False, and None) . This list may also be used by Show Completions on the Edit menu, and its hot key. Rewrite Completions doc. Co-authored-by: Cheryl Sabella <cheryl.sabella@gmail.com>
* bpo-39852: IDLE 'Go to line' deletes selection, updates status (GH-18801)Terry Jan Reedy2020-03-081-1/+3
| | | | | | It appears standard that moving the text insert cursor away from a selection clears the selection. Clearing prevents accidental deletion of a possibly off-screen bit of text. The update is for Ln and Col on the status bar.
* IDLE doc: improve Startup failure subsection. (#18771)Jules Lasne (jlasne)2020-03-061-7/+10

* bpo-38862: IDLE Strip Trailing Whitespace fixes end newlines (GH-17366)Terry Jan Reedy2019-11-241-1/+2
| | | Extra newlines are removed at the end of non-shell files. If the file only has newlines after stripping other trailing whitespace, all are removed, as is done by patchcheck.py.
* bpo-37748: Re-order the Run menu. (GH-15115)Terry Jan Reedy2019-08-041-16/+16
| | | Put the most common choice, Run Module, at the top.

* bpo-26806: add 30 to the recursion limit in IDLE's shell (GH-13944)Tal Einat2019-07-061-0/+4
| | | | | | | | This is done to compensate for the extra stack frames added by IDLE itself, which cause problems when setting the recursion limit to low values. This wraps sys.setrecursionlimit() and sys.getrecursionlimit() as invisibly as possible.
* bpo-5680: IDLE: Customize running a module (GH-13763)Cheryl Sabella2019-06-181-1/+15
| | | The initialize options are 1) add command line options, which are appended to sys.argv as if passed on a real command line, and 2) skip the shell restart. The customization dialog is accessed by a new entry on the Run menu.
* bpo-37039: Make IDLE's Zoom Height adjust to users' screens (GH-13678)Tal Einat2019-06-171-1/+4
| | | | Measure required height by quickly maximizing once per screen. A search for a better method failed.
* bpo-37039: IDLE - zoomheight fixes (GH-13576)Terry Jan Reedy2019-05-271-5/+5
| | | | | Move doc entry to match menu and refactor zoom function. A followup patch will include a blurb.
* bpo-36958: In IDLE, print exit message (GH-13435)Terry Jan Reedy2019-05-201-0/+3
| | | | | Print any argument other than None or int passed to SystemExit or sys.exit().

* bpo-34864: Document two IDLE on MacOS issues. (GH-10456)Terry Jan Reedy2018-11-111-6/+17
| | | | | The System Preferences Dock "prefer tabs always" setting disables some IDLE features. Menus are a bit different than as described for Windows and Linux.

| | | | | | | 'Strip trailing whitespace' is not limited to spaces. Wording caters to beginners who do know know the meaning of 'whitespace'. Multiline string literals are not skipped. * News blurb.
* bpo-31421: Document how IDLE runs tkinter programs. (#3513)Terry Jan Reedy2017-09-121-6/+29

* bpo-27099: Finish updating IDLE doc and help text. (#3510)Terry Jan Reedy2017-09-121-4/+4
| | | | As needed for the conversion of extensions to features.
* bpo-27099: IDLE - Convert built-in extensions to regular features (#2494)wohlganger2017-09-101-20/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion. The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config- extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config- extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok. The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', '<<expand-word>>', '<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', '<<format-paragraph>>', '<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and '<<zoom-height>>'. Any (global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will not affect their keyset- specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice versa. Inital patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
* bpo-25514: Improve IDLE's connection refused message (#2177)terryjreedy2017-06-141-0/+44
