In IDLE, with an Italian keyboard, it's impossible to
dedent the text without using the menu, because the
shortcut Ctrl+] cannot be typed. In fact, with an
Italian keybaord, the ] is typed with Ctrl+Alt++. While
indent can be achieved with Tab, so that's no problem,
dedent is only accesible from menu: I suggest you to
shortcut it as Shift+Tab too, like many other IDEs.

Thank you

While I agree with your suggestion about Shift+Tab,
in the meantime is it possible for you to create
a custom key assignment in Options / Configure IDLE
and use the Keys tab to re-assign the dedent?

Shift+Tab does look better to me too. But, one can change the default
shortcut like Kurt mentioned.

Are IDLE users ready to have the default dedent shortcut changed ?
