Category: IDLE Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: paul rubin (phr) Assigned to: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Summary: add "reload" function Initial Comment: The file menu in Editor windows could benefit from a "reload" function that re-reads the file from disc and loads it into the editor, replacing what's currently in the editor. That's useful for those of us who like to edit with Emacs in another window while running the code under Idle. To get really fancy, it might be cool to optionally display a diff between the in-editor version and the on-disk version allowing merging changes, but that's maybe over the top. Other editors usually do have commands like this, e.g.M-x Revert-file in Emacs or ":e!" in vi. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- >Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2005-04-18 21:55 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 Why do you use Emacs instead of IDLE? (I use emacs myself sometimes, but I'm curious what your reasons are these days.) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Raymond Hettinger (rhettinger) Date: 2005-04-18 17:48 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=80475 If added, it should definitely be called "revert" instead of "reload". The latter already has a specific meaning in Python that relates to imports. The former seems to be standard terminology across a number of editing tools from emacs to photoshop. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=355470&aid=1175686&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
