After which, you can dispense with the menus (except when pasting),
just select the text and hit <enter>.
To paste into a DOS box, once Quick Edit is enabled, use Right-Click.
They keystrokes will be sent to the command editor. Note that the
interpretation is rather literal, so be careful if copy/pasting more
than one line, or a line that was wrapped.
Well I'll be dipped. Didn't know you could do that.
Of course, since I learned how to call programs from the
script and capture their StdOut, I don't have much call for
cut/paste from dos windows. Hopefully, I'll remember that the
next time I need it.
That's new to me too!
You probably already know that if you drag-and-drop a file onto the
window you get its path.
Damn! I may just go back to using Python from the command prompt
instead of using IDLE.
On second thought, IDLE is way too useful for indenting, dedenting,
commenting and uncommenting blocks of code. Can't go back to using
Notepad.
When I started with Python, I was using Metapad for editing. Although
it doesn't help with commenting-blocks, it's much better than Notepad
for all purposes I used.
Then I discovered Komodo. Although not cheap, it's a great IDE for my
uses. And there's a free version called Komodo-Edit, which is missing
the debugger but otherwise may be quite useful.
