| | | | | | Fix misc doc typos (GH-108592) (cherry picked from commit 88f1c5b454c34efc167a94b5e2d67ec042834e5b) Co-authored-by: xzmeng <aumo@foxmail.com>

| | | Make section instead of subsection and revise sentence.
* gh-75500: Add idlelib section to IDLE doc (#95832)Terry Jan Reedy2022-08-091-0/+17
| | | This enables accessing IDLE as 'idlelib' in the Doc Module listing.
* gh-89362: Doc IDLE menu and search (#95697)Terry Jan Reedy2022-08-051-17/+25
| | | | | Update menu item position and capitalization. Add paragraph about search. For help.html, include save-as addition.
* gh-65802: IDLE - explain SaveAs and extensions (#95690)Terry Jan Reedy2022-08-051-2/+5
| | | | | File name extensions may or may not be shown for the current name and are added in an OS-dependent manner if not given for the new name.
* IDLE doc: Tweek RESTART and Windows console start (#94530)Terry Jan Reedy2022-07-031-2/+4
|
* gh-86404: [doc] Fix missing space in idle documentation. (GH-94366)Julien Palard2022-06-281-1/+1
| | | | | This should have been spotted by sphinx-lint, tracked here: https://github.com/sphinx-contrib/sphinx-lint/issues/39
* gh-82006: IDLE doc improvements (#94349)Terry Jan Reedy2022-06-271-11/+24
| | | | | | 0. Update text start and stop conditions. 1. Title-case sections but not subsections. 2. Edit Shell Window sections: title, execute, restart.
* bpo-45296: Clarify close, quit, and exit in IDLE (GH-30936)Terry Jan Reedy2022-01-271-4/+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.
* [doc] Fix typo in idle.rst (GH-27903)Ikko Ashimine2021-08-231-1/+1
| | | intially -> initially
* bpo-44740: Lowercase "internet" and "web" where appropriate. (#27378)Mariusz Felisiak2021-07-261-1/+1
| | | Co-authored-by: Łukasz Langa <lukasz@langa.pl>
* bpo-44010: IDLE: colorize pattern-matching soft keywords (GH-25851)Tal Einat2021-05-191-0/+6
|
* 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-43008: Make IDLE respect sys.excepthook (GH-24302)Ken2021-01-261-1/+1
| | | Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>
* bpo-35764: Rewrite the IDLE Calltips doc section (GH-22363)Terry Jan Reedy2020-09-221-22/+25
|
* Add missing colon to IDLE doc markup (GH-22007)Andre Delfino2020-09-091-1/+1
|
* 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
| | | | | | Eliminate repeat of 'Options', reported by Jules Lasne, and improve wording elsewhere. Co-authored-by: Terry Jan Reedy <tjreedy@udel.edu>
* Minor formatting improvements and fixes to idle.rst (GH-17165)Tal Einat2020-01-051-7/+8
|
* 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().
* Fix typos in documentation. Patch by tirkarthi. (GH-13354)Terry Jan Reedy2019-05-161-2/+2
|
* Syntax highlight IDLE html doc code example. (GH-12981)Terry Jan Reedy2019-04-271-4/+2

* bpo-22703: IDLE: Improve Code Context and Zoom Height menu labels (GH-11214)Cheryl Sabella2018-12-221-8/+8
| | | | | | | | The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context. The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height. Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu. https://bugs.python.org/issue22703
* bpo-35521: Add more cross-refs to IDLE docs (#11257)Terry Jan Reedy2018-12-201-12/+19
| | | Format menu and preferences.
* bpo-35521: IDLE: Add code context section to docs (#11205)Cheryl Sabella2018-12-201-6/+35
| | | Also add some internal cross-references.
* bpo-35213: Where appropriate, use 'macOS' in idlelib. (#10478)Terry Jan Reedy2018-11-151-8/+8
|
* 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.
* bpo-33000: Document that IDLE's shell has no line limit. (#10373)Terry Jan Reedy2018-11-071-5/+13
| | | A program that runs indefinitely can overfill memory.
* bpo-23220: Explain how IDLE's Shell displays output (GH-10356)Terry Jan Reedy2018-11-061-12/+48
