Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: IDLE Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 3 Submitted By: paul rubin (phr) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) 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.

However, my question still stands. Have you tried IDLE with the autosave and F5 to run? If IDLE had incremental search it would be pretty close or maybe even better. I used to use emacs to develop IDLE but I find I'm increasingly using IDLE for that purpose. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kurt B. Kaiser (kbk) Date: 2005-05-26 11:20 Message: Logged In: YES user_id=149084 I like the Revert idea better. It probably should be above "Close" in the File menu. Otherwise, if it's next to "Recent Files", someday someone is going to select it by mistake and be really ticked. I think the suggestion violates KISS. Over time, it's ideas like this that cause creeping features and a boated interface. But again, why not use IDLE instead of emacs to edit Python code? One button Save/Run! What is the killer feature that's missing from IDLE? That would be the real thing to work on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Comment By: Kurt B.

(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
