That's expected behaviour due to the way OSX works. There's a
Makefile for building an application bundle (IDLE.app) in Mac/OSX/
IDLE. The easiest way to get the application bundle is to install a
framework build, that will install IDLE.app in /Application/MacPython
2.5.
I've tried to ensure that my changes do nothing when IDLE wasn't
started from that application bundle, so you shouldn't have seen
anything new ;-). I should have mentioned that in the patch
description. Sorry about the confusion.

That's one of the open issues for this patch. I've no idea to
override the default keybindings for just one platform.

I'll see if I can find what's causing this. I hope it isn't generic
AquaTk suckage.

That one seems to be easy to fix.

That's probably related to being started outside of an application
bundle.

Unless you've changed your keyboard settings in System Preferences
that's expected behaviour. With the default settings you have to use
fn+F5 to actually cause an F5 keyboard event (that is the function
keys are the alternate choice, chaning hardware settings is the
default binding for those keys).
Thanks for looking at this,
