[issue13319] IDLE: Menu accelerator conflict between Format and Options

2018-02-12 Thread Cheryl Sabella
Cheryl Sabella added the comment: Maybe a solution for this would be to change the name of the 'Format' menu to something like 'Source'? Interestingly, the Format menu is available on outwin, even though that is output-only, so I guess 'Source' would only make sense if the other uses of an E

Ned Deily added the comment: I believe it is the case that none of these proposed changes would have any effect on Aqua (native, non-X11) OS X Tk variants (Cocoa or Carbon). Unlike on Windows and X11, standard OS X menus in conforming GUI apps do not have underline letter shortcuts. (OS X pr

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Currently, in 3.4 Win 7, tk 8.6, Alt O (or Alt O O O , etc) is required to get the Format menu to drop down. Following that with Alt O does select comment out. Alt O O (with or without holding down Alt) opens the Option menu. Having to hit makes both poss

2011-11-04 Thread Roger Serwy
Roger Serwy added the comment: Alt-3 is comment-out region on Linux as well. The problem is that "o" is an accelerator for "Comment Out Region" under the Format menu. Pressing "Alt-o and o" under Linux is equivalent to "Alt-o and Alt-o". This toggling between Format and Options may be a Tk bu

Roger Serwy added the comment: Which platform are you running? On Linux (Ubuntu 11.10, Python 3.2, Tk 8.5), Alt-o does not toggle between Format and Options. The first Alt-o selects "Format" and the second Alt-o selects "Comment Out Region". Changing Format's accelerator to "a" would be in

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: The conflict is not fatal for keyboard users because repeating alt-o switches between Format and Options. To resolve the conflict, I would prefer to keep alt-o for Options, both because it is the first letter of Options and because Options appears on Shell wi

2011-11-01 Thread Roger Serwy
New submission from Roger Serwy : This is a minor interface issue. The accelerator for opening the _Options menu in an editor conflicts with the F_ormat menu. I suggest changing the Options accelerator to "i" since Alt-t is for toggling tabs. (Perhaps the accelerator for <> should be dropped,
