I have updated the PR for the following two suggestions: > I would rather trailing blocks be deleted all at once > Anything after [the prompt] is an indent and should be treated as such Again, consider the following examples (apologies about the last ones: I have learnt the lesson - always test your examples!). All examples use the default indent width of 4: 8 spaces; cursor - This is currently deleted in blocks of 4 and the patch will not change this behaviour (an indent takes precedence over trailing) 4 spaces; 4 chars; 8 spaces; cursor - As the trailing whitespace is no longer also the indent, all 8 spaces will be deleted 1 char; 2 spaces; cursor; 1 char - This behaviour of the original patch has not changed: the spaces get deleted one at a time In the process of testing this patch, I stumbled across another bug which is, if a continuation line is changed to start with the prompt, IDLE will refuse to delete it. Simple example: type `\`; return; backspace; `>>> `; backspace. I have prepared a branch which resolves this by setting a text mark at the start of the last prompt line and checking for that when refusing to delete prompt characters (if you would like me to create an issue and PR for this). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue41608> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
