I *think* the primary reason for overriding the home key behaviour was not for the interactive shell, but to make it easier to edit code. Most programmer's editors that do automatic indentation also let you use home to move to the beginning of the text on a line, rather than the absolute beginning of the line. I couldn't say for sure though: I'm new here. I've proposed some changes to the ctrl-left, ctrl-right behaviour on idle-dev that would also require custom handling of selection behaviour. If it were to be decided that reimplementing the selection-handling was worthwhile I would be willing to work on such a patch to redo the selection-handling using only supported Tk features, but I get the impression I'd need lots of help to get it tested with every possible version of Tcl/Tk. _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue4676> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
