Some other suggestions:

1) Make the default color syntax formatter default to python before saving
an unnamed buffer. Most people use IDLE for editing Python files, so that
seems reasonable. Of course, saving the file in another format would still

change the formatter.


Sounds reasonable to me as well. I believe this has already been asked for
in the past, I'll have to look it up.

2) Disable by default (or ask for confirmation on) Control+p. How many
times students accidentally press control+p rather than alt+p, and send
the last two hours of editing to the printer. A "select printer dialog"
could also prevent this mistake.


After prvious discussion on idle-dev, I've recently submitted a patch which
causes a yes/no dialog asking "are you sure you want to print?" to appear.
If you like the idea, please try it out and post a (hopefully positive)
review: SourceForge patch
1717170<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1717170&group_id=5470&atid=305470>
.

BTW, the hotkey for print has been recently changed to Ctrl+t instead of
Ctrl+p in the SVN.
