> is the system use of CMD-M newer than IDLE's (15 years?)? macOS has been using CMD-M for minimize for quite a while. It's listed in the current Apple "Human Interface Guidelines" which is the reference document that Apple itself and third-parties are strongly encouraged to follow (sort of the PEP 8 for macOS UIs). It's probably a good idea for anyone working on the IDLE UI to read through the macOS section at least once. Note that they discourage the use of the Control key as a modifier and they also encourage the use of the Shift key as a secondary modifier "when a shortcut complements another shortcut". Following those suggestions, perhaps a better choice for "Open Module" would be Shift-Command-O (complementing "Open File" Command-O), if it isn't already being used by IDLE. https://developer.apple.com/design/human-interface-guidelines/macos/user-interaction/keyboard/ ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue35104> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
