[issue10165] char overwrite mode is by default on in Python console under Vista
New submission from anatoly techtonik techto...@gmail.com: I never used Python console much, but now I see it has a very annoying behavior under Windows Vista. By default entered char overwrites the char under cursor. If you press Insert key once - it allows to insert key, but after you press enter - overwrite mode is back. -- messages: 119289 nosy: techtonik priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: char overwrite mode is by default on in Python console under Vista versions: Python 2.7 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10165 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment: This has nothing to do with Python. IIRC from another issue, you have pyreadline installed. Your cmd.exe settings may be conflicting with something that pyreadline is trying to do. -- nosy: +brian.curtin resolution: - invalid stage: - committed/rejected status: open - closed ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10165 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Brian Curtin cur...@acm.org added the comment: I'm not sure if it's possible, but even if so, I don't think we should do it. For cmd.exe itself and all processes that run in it, the default is to have it off, and you can enable it on a case-by-case basis. Insert mode really should only be enabled by those who know what it does. For example, left clicking while a process is using stdout will block until you left click, and I can see that confusing users who are not aware of what happened or why. -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue10165 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

Agree that it's not really up to us; and that it's trivial to change once for all future python processes. As to the left-click blocking, I think that's Quick Edit mode you're thinking of, not Insert TJG ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
