From e719d60163a823824878a6a762bce17ba9532abd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Terry Jan Reedy Date: Wed, 26 Jan 2022 19:57:46 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-45296: Clarify close, quit, and exit in IDLE In the File menu, 'Close' and 'Exit' are now 'Close Window' (the current one) and 'Exit' is now 'Exit IDLE' (by closing all windows). In Shell, 'quit()' and 'exit()' mean 'close Shell'. If there are no other windows, this also exits IDLE. --- Doc/library/idle.rst | 10 ++++++---- Lib/idlelib/help.html | 20 ++++++++++--------- Lib/idlelib/mainmenu.py | 4 ++-- .../2022-01-26-19-33-55.bpo-45296.LzZKdU.rst | 4 ++++ 4 files changed, 23 insertions(+), 15 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Misc/NEWS.d/next/IDLE/2022-01-26-19-33-55.bpo-45296.LzZKdU.rst diff --git a/Doc/library/idle.rst b/Doc/library/idle.rst index d740973af9124e..d6021042c61166 100644 --- a/Doc/library/idle.rst +++ b/Doc/library/idle.rst @@ -96,11 +96,13 @@ Save Copy As...
