Actually, the "Classic Unix" keybinding does support that. The implementation is rather subtle. In config-keybindings.def, note the 'do-nothing' and 'save-window' bindings. Note in the latter there is no space between the two bindings, that syntax indicates a combination. > > Personally, I feel adding support for Emacs-like bindings (the simpler > ones) will be a welcome feature for many Emacs users, and can help > widen our user base. Right. The 'classic' set isn't especially emacsish (emacish?). I've been thinking about a new binding set, 'IDLE Emacs'. Personally, I use a modification of 'IDLE Classic Unix'. -- KBK _______________________________________________ IDLE-dev mailing list [email protected] http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/idle-dev
