In my opinion, everything here is relatively minor compared to some other 
current issues with IDLE, e.g. some of those mentioned by Raymond Hettinger in 
his comments on #35196.

That being said, a few comments:

I agree. If you create an issue, I'll make a PR.

This existed in previous versions of Squeezer, but I removed it to keep things 
simple. It can easily be added.

Scrolling the screen for the user should usually be avoided. With scrolling 
being easy these days (scroll wheels, native scrolling in touchpads, touch 
screens) I vote to leave this up to the user.

This would be the case when done via keyboard as suggested in E2. I'm strongly 
against moving the cursor upon un-squeezing text in general.


Regarding A1-A3 and the rest, I fail to see the point, but have nothing 
constructive to say.
