Category: IDLE Group: None >Status: Closed >Resolution: Rejected Priority: 5 Submitted By: Mike Foord (mjfoord) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: Bottom Scroll Bar Initial Comment: IDLE comes without a horizontal (bottom) scroll bar. In general this is preferable, but there are times when it's a nuisance. It would be nice to have an option (easily accessible) to switch this on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2005-05-26 10:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 IDLE is intended to present a simple interface to beginners and to encourage good style. I believe that GvR made a deliberate decision not to have a horiz scroll bar to discourage lines longer that 80 char. If you want to code a patch, I'd accept it. However, the config switch should be in config-main.def only, and the selection should not appear on the Options dialog. That way an experienced user could set it in .idlerc/config-main.cfg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1207613&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
