Ned Deily <n...@acm.org> added the comment: Interesting, I didn't know the "Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘" input method existed. In just some causal experimentation with it, it seems pretty clear that the input method is not being consistently followed by Tk and there seem to be differences between Tk 8.4 and 8.5. Part of the problem, I think, is that some of the keyboard accelerators are implemented in menus provided by Tk itself and the unrecognized ones are passed on to IDLE. Unfortunately, Tk does not fully implement Input Method text processing although there does seem to be some work-in-progress in the Tk community to help fix that, see for instance:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3205153&group_id=12997&atid=112997 But the work for that issue, if it does get released, may still have no impact on this problem. If someone is interested in further investigating the issue, I would suggest setting up a small Tcl test case using menu accelerators using Tcl/Tk Wish and, if the problem can be demonstrated there, opening an issue on the Tk tracker. I'm reasonably certain there is nothing to be done about this in Python itself but I'm not interested in spending more time to prove that. So I'm going to close this issue as "wont fix". If anyone has an interest in it, feel free to reopen and reassign. ---------- assignee: ned.deily -> priority: normal -> low resolution: -> wont fix stage: -> committed/rejected status: open -> closed title: IDLE halts on osx when copy and paste -> Problems using IDLE accelerators with OS X Dvorak - Qwerty ⌘ input method type: -> behavior versions: +Python 3.2, Python 3.3 _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue12748> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
