[issue31860] IDLE: Make font sample editable

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Postscript: I read a week or so ago that a new Windows 10 font chooser will 
have this feature.  There was not much detail and I believe it is currently 
only part of the Preview package.

Cheryl Sabella  added the comment:

Makes sense.  I guess I didn't think of it being frozen because I was thinking 
of it being more like the Recent Files list, but pre-populated if it were 
empty.  As you said, probably not worth the effort.  :-)

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Cheryl, thanks for explaining, in part, why I don't want to do this ;-).  Using 
the the current .def, .cfg system would mean that the default sample would be 
frozen.  I want to be able to change it.

[issue31860] IDLE: Make font sample editable

[Cheryl Sabella]

Cheryl Sabella  added the comment:

I don't know if saving the changes would be too difficult.

1.  Create a new config file for the text (I think it would clutter the 
existing config files, but could also add it there).
2.  Load font_sample_text from the config file.
3.  In apply(), write the text back to the config file.

Issues:
1.  Have a reset button so that the original sample text could be restored at 
some point?  If so, then need to store the original (current) text somewherem 
maybe a .def and .cfg version like for the other settings?  A reset button 
would also require some screen space from the text frame.

Terry J. Reedy  added the comment:

Thanks for the patch.  Adding the feature is somehow easier than I expected.  
After moving the sample text to module level, which I considered doing before, 
saving edits for the duration of an IDLE session turned out to also be easy.  

With 11 point Lucida Console, there is room for 5 more lines, without erasing 
anything, before anything scrolls off the top.

I expect that saving changes across IDLE sessions would be much harder and 
likely not worth the effort.  I think that exploring font choices is likely 
rare enough that there is little need to do so.

The proposed patch makes the font sample in IDLE font configuration dialog 
editable. This allows users to test fonts with arbitrary samples.
