[issue15308] IDLE - add an "Interrupt Execution" to shell menu [In reply to]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy [at] udel> added the comment:

I would like to broaden this to add other missing features to the menus. I have no need for this, but I would like history-next/prev added (to shell, as they only apply there). I never learned them because at first I did not know about them and now it is more bother to select options/configure/keys/scroll-down to find the key binding than to click/return. When I get a new program, I often look through the menus to see what is available, so if things are hidden, how do I find out about them?

Does IDle or tkinter or tk automatically add the key shortcuts?

I notice that some key bindings include lower and upper case, some do not. (History next/prev do not.) Is there a reason to not make all cntl/alt bindings case insensitive, and is there an issue for this?

I was thinking about #12387 about caps lock and shortcuts.

Roger Serwy <roger.serwy [at] gmail> added the comment:

I'm ok with broadening the scope of this issue to include other items.
If we decide to deprecate running IDLE without a subprocess
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2012-June/003124.html), then
the history-next/prev would fit nicely under the Shell menu.
> Does IDle or tkinter or tk automatically add the key shortcuts?
IDLE adds the key shortcuts. It's broken for extensions if those
shortcuts are changed. See Issue6092.

The help.txt file needs to be modified as well. See interrupt_execution.patch.
