IDLE: config-main.def contains windows-specific settings #43624
Comments
The default values in config-main.def contain values that are specific for I've worked around this by copying a mac version of config-main.def over |
Logged In: YES Not so crude, since there is a Mac/IDLE/ dir? I Perhaps IDLE should be modified to try to detect But you would still need Mac/IDLE/, would you not? |
Logged In: YES Mac/IDLE contains support code for building and installing an application Detecting the platform and automaticly using platform-specific settings IMHO the current workaround is crude because I maintain a seperate copy of |

In 3.4, the only Windows-specific settings I see in config-main.def is I have presumed that this is somehow changed on other systems. If not, that is an issue. Config-keys.def actions (should) have a Meta variant when Alt is used. If 'Alt' were automatically changed to 'Meta' on Mac, before sending to tk, the Meta entries could be removed, with a note in the key-setting dialog about the auto translation. The file would be easier to read; setting keys would then be easier; and Macs would automatically get key bindings. (I notice that some actions have two Alt bindings and only one Meta binding. Is that because Meta in not value for all uses of Alt?) |
bpo-20580 covers much the same grounds; I was unaware of this issue when I opened it. |
Since bpo-20580 has a much more specific plan, I am closing this one as a duplicate and back-referencing this from there. |
