Vedran Čačić added the comment: But there is something _I_ can do now. :-)
I put a pdb.set_trace in that code you quoted, and went exploring. And here is what I found. It calls currentOption = idleConf.CurrentKeys() That one calls return self.current_colors_and_keys('Keys') and _that one_ calls default = self.GetOption('main', 'Theme', 'default', ^^^^^ note this type='bool', default=True) and later it uses defaut as default for both theme and keys. I did have custom keys, but not a custom highlight theme. Sure enough, as soon as I made a trivial copy of IDLE classic, things worked perfectly. :-) So now I don't have a problem anymore. But still I think it is a bug that should be fixed. Not everyone who hates Alt+p also hates the orange words on white background. :-D ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27821> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
