New submission from George Dhoore <georgie...@gmail.com>:
If the user makes a typo when setting a custom keybind (in this case
"<Alt-Key-up>" instead of "<Alt-Key-Up>") IDLE will silently crash. From the
command-line the error shows as:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Python32\Lib\idlelib\idle.py", line 11, in <module>

This is doubly confusing as case sensitivity seems to be applied at random in
config-keys.cfg.
Expected behavior:
Ideally case sensitivity shouldn't matter in config-keys.cfg and if there is an
error in the config syntax, that particular line should be ignored and the rest
of the file tried. If IDLE is still able to start, some user friendly error
should be displayed indicating the problem line.
