[Bayard Randel]

Bayard Randel added the comment:

I've provided a patch which seems to bring this change up to date on Python 
3.6.0a4+, however I've only manually tested. Having had a look at the existing 
idle tests, it wasn't clear to me how I could also provide a test. Any 
suggestions would be appreciated. I ran a childrens' coding workshop at Kiwi 
PyCon 2016 in Dunedin, New Zealand using IDLE and one child in fact raised this 
issue and was unfamiliar with Ctrl-C.

New submission from Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com:

Add an Interrupt Execution to the Shell menu, per issue13504, annoyance #3 - 
PROBLEM: There’s no obvious way to stop a running program. (Don’t expect them 
to know Ctrl-C)

[issue15308] IDLE - add an Interrupt Execution to shell menu

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy tjre...@udel.edu added the comment:

I would like to broaden this to add other missing features to the menus. I have 
no need for this, but I would like history-next/prev added (to shell, as they 
only apply there). I never learned them because at first I did not know about 
them and now it is more bother to select options/configure/keys/scroll-down to 
find the key binding than to click/return. When I get a new program, I often 
look through the menus to see what is available, so if things are hidden, how 
do I find out about them?

Does IDle or tkinter or tk automatically add the key shortcuts?

I notice that some key bindings include lower and upper case, some do not. 
(History next/prev do not.) Is there a reason to not make all cntl/alt bindings 
case insensitive, and is there an issue for this?

I was thinking about #12387 about caps lock and shortcuts.

Roger Serwy roger.se...@gmail.com added the comment:

I'm ok with broadening the scope of this issue to include other items. 
If we decide to deprecate running IDLE without a subprocess 
(http://mail.python.org/pipermail/idle-dev/2012-June/003124.html), then 
the history-next/prev would fit nicely under the Shell menu.
 Does IDle or tkinter or tk automatically add the key shortcuts?
IDLE adds the key shortcuts. It's broken for extensions if those 
shortcuts are changed. See Issue6092.

The help.txt file needs to be modified as well. See interrupt_execution.patch.
