[issue17632] IDLE: Add clear-window option to the Shell menu.

Roger Serwy added the comment: This is a different spin on issue6143. Here the suggestion is to combine the clear function with the restart option for a new menu option. I am closing this one as a duplicate of #6143, but adding the Shell "restart and clear" suggestion. -- nosy: +roger

[issue17632] IDLE: Add clear-window option to the Shell menu.

2013-04-03 Thread Raymond Hettinger
New submission from Raymond Hettinger: Without a restart-and-clear option, the shell window tends to grow without bound, becoming increasingly lethargic along the way. I've have recurring student requests for this minor feature. -- components: IDLE keywords: easy messages: 186004 nosy:
