[issue14735] Version 3.2.3 IDLE CTRL-Z plus Carriage Return to end does not work
Roger Serwy added the comment: Attached is a refreshed patch for tip. Supporting Ctrl+Z and Enter on Windows would be problematic as I discussed earlier. We could introduce a timer to make sure Enter is pressed within a short window after Ctrl+Z. If someone wants to make a patch for that, I'll gladly review it. In the meantime, changing the docs to reflect the actual behavior of IDLE would be simpler. -- stage: - patch review type: behavior - enhancement versions: +Python 3.4 -Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file29774/ctrl_z_doc_rev1.patch ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14735 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

[issue14735] Version 3.2.3 IDLE CTRL-Z plus Carriage Return to end does not work
Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com added the comment: Ctrl+Z followed by Return still exits the Python shell on the command prompt under Vista. The simplest way to get this behavior working in IDLE would be modifying the end-of-file definition in config-keys.def, but only for the Windows keymap: [IDLE Classic Windows] # truncated end-of-file=Control-Key-d Control-Key-D Control-Key-zReturn # truncated I left the Ctrl+D bindings in place, as these are IDLE's norm. In a strict sense they should be removed for a Windows key map. (I am basing my cross-platform understanding of Ctrl+Z from here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control-Z ) The undo functionality already binds to Ctrl+Z. By using the Ctrl+Z and Return sequence to signal IDLE's shell to exit, I can foresee users accidentally closing their shells. Consider this scenario: a user types a long command and the prompt and then presses Ctrl+Z to undo the last few key strokes. The user then presses enter to run the command but the shell closes instead. The regular python shell from a command prompt displays a ^Z as a visual indicator. If IDLE's shell did the same then I would not have hesitations about changing the key bindings. For now, I'm in favor of changing the documentation in help.txt to omit (this is Control-z on Windows). -- ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14735 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com

R. David Murray rdmur...@bitdance.com added the comment: Making idle work with ctl-Z+enter might be reasonable. However, can you describe more fully the documentation that led you believe that would work? ctl-Z+enter is for the CMD window, not IDLE, to my understanding. -- nosy: +r.david.murray, terry.reedy ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14735 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue14735] Version 3.2.3 IDLE CTRL-Z plus Carriage Return to end does not work
Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment: Using ^Z (ascii Substitute char) instead of ^D (ascii 'End of Transmission') is an MSDOS affectation carried over to the the MSDOS-based text-mode Command Prompt on Windows. I verified that ^D now closes IDLE on Windows. ^Z gives a beep. (I do not know about 2.7. It needs to be checked.) I also see that the IDLE Help document still says Control-d sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at prompt (this is Control-z on Windows). so you are right to be confused. I do not know when the change was made, but I presume it was intentional as ^D is standard and most Windows users have no experience with MSDOS and ^Z. (It does not close Windows gui applications that I know of, nor does ^D usually.) So my inclination is to just remove the note (after checking 2.7.3 behavior) and not change the code. -- nosy: +serwy versions: +Python 2.7, Python 3.3 ___ Python tracker rep...@bugs.python.org http://bugs.python.org/issue14735 ___ ___ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
[issue14735] Version 3.2.3 IDLE CTRL-Z plus Carriage Return to end does not work
New submission from Ed Wodrich ewodri...@rainbowhaven.net: Greetings, I am a brand new user attempting to learn Python. I downloaded and installed the .msi installer version 3.2.3 on May 5, 2012. I am running Windows XP SP2 32-bit on a Pentium 4. I opted to load all features of the program. Installation finished without any errors. Admittedly, despite previous programming experience with other languages, I have a lot to learn. What I saw when I tried using the IDLE was that it would not end with ctrl-Z followed by carriage return. Using either quit() and replying to the dialog or using ctrl-d followed by carriage return worked. I am submitting this because the GUI interface and what documentation I have seen so far states that ctrl-z followed by carriage return is the method to use in Windows. IMHO possible fix options (presuming this is not something weird because I don't know what I am doing yet) would be to update the documentation for consistency or to change the behavior of the IDLE? Thank you, in advance, for your efforts with regard to this issue.
