[issue9262] IDLE: Use tabbed shell and edit windows

Mark Roseman added the comment: The ttk Notebook wouldn't be appropriate as it doesn't scale beyond a small (generally fixed) number of tabs, and is missing UI to easily add/delete tabs. There's some discussion of this in earlier comments here. --

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Vedran, thank you for the link. The way IDLE looks on Mac is what we want on all systems. I added a note to #24826. Do you regularly work on Mac? It would be help if someone were to test PRs on OSX, especially patches intended to change what users see.

[issue9262] IDLE: Use tabbed shell and edit windows

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: Hi Cedric, I have been 'considering' for at least 7 years, since the core devs who then cared about IDLE agreed that tabbed windows would be a good idea. The direst analogy with programming editors with tabs. Notepad++ is the one I have used. My

Vedran Čačić added the comment: OMG no! Please reconsider. First, analogy with web browsers is bogus. The modes of usage is very different. We don't look at multiple tabs simultaneously very often, but we do look at multiple files at once using IDLE (at least I do). And I'm not the only one.

Charles Wohlganger added the comment: I modified Mark Rosen's newTabExtension to work with more recent versions of IDLE, as it wasn't working when I tried it on mine. It's not clear if it ever could when it was originally working, but I can't get it to move tabs between multiple window

Mark Roseman added the comment: Have attached uitabs.py. From the header comments: Standalone 'tabs' widget to switch between multiple different views. Unlike the Tkinter ttk.Notebook widget, this widget is suitable for displaying a potentially large number of tabs, as might be found in a

Mark Roseman added the comment: I've put together a standalone tabs widget (mostly done) based on Tk canvas widget, that emulates the behaviour of TextMate's tabs. I was able to modify Roger's extension to use this widget. See attached screenshot newtabs.png (tabs area is fully functioning,

Terry J. Reedy added the comment: A tabbed widget, however implemented, should be a component that can either be in a Toplevel with menu by itself, or added to an application window (#24826). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org

[issue9262] IDLE: Use tabbed shell and edit windows

Mark Roseman added the comment: Roger's extension is an amazingly cool hack. With some of the decoupling mentioned in #24826, the actual switching should get easier. Regarding cosmetics, I wanted to make a suggestion. The tabs provided by ttk::notebook aren't ideally suited for this task,
