Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Currently, in 3.4 Win 7, tk 8.6, Alt O <enter> (or Alt O O O <enter>, etc) is required to get the Format menu to drop down. Following that with Alt O does select comment out. Alt O O <enter> (with or without holding down Alt) opens the Option menu. Having to hit <enter> makes both possible, but it was not obvious to me. I only tried hitting <enter> 'in desperation'. So I would like to remove the conflict.
As I said before, I really want Alt-O to open the always present Options menu. Alt-I is completely unmnemonic to me. The 'i' in 'option' is silent in that it mutates 't' to 'sh' but is not pronounced in itself as a vowel. I don't consider a couple of other editors to be determinative for Idle. Notepad++ has 11 menu items and not all even have an Alt hotkey. To open without a mouse, one must hit Alt and then move with <- and -> arrow keys. I would like to change the hot key for <<toggle-tabs>> to Alt-7. We could then use Alt-T (Meta-T) for Forma_t. Alt 5 & 6 are already used for Tabify and Untabify, so using the next key for tab toggle makes sense to me. (And if we ever need Alt-U for something else, I would change the hot key for the probably seldom used 'Indent width' to Alt-8). Ned, do you have any opinion on this issue? ---------- nosy: +ned.deily _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue13319> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
