- With unix bindings, ESC by itself is ignored
- Sometimes for no apparent reason a selection from the cursor to the
end of the command buffer appears, which is hard to get rid of
because it stays when you are typing!
- The Line/Col in the status bar can be wrong initially in PyShell DONE
Structural problems:
- too much knowledge in FileList about EditorWindow (for example)
- should add some primitives for accessing the selection etc.
to repeat cumbersome code over and over
======================================================================
Jeff Bauer suggests:
- Open Module doesn't appear to handle hierarchical packages.
- Class browser should also allow hierarchical packages.
- Open and Open Module could benefit from a history, DONE
either command line style, or Microsoft recent-file
style.
- Add a Smalltalk-style inspector (i.e. Tkinspect)
The last suggestion is already a reality, but not yet
integrated into IDLE. I use a module called inspector.py,
that used to be available from python.org(?) It no longer
appears to be in the contributed section, and the source
has no author attribution.
In any case, the code is useful for visually navigating
an object's attributes, including its container hierarchy.
>>> from inspector import Tkinspect
>>> Tkinspect(None, myObject)
Tkinspect could probably be extended and refined to
integrate better into IDLE.

Comparison to PTUI
------------------
+ PTUI's help is better (HTML!)
+ PTUI can attach a shell to any module
+ PTUI has some more I/O commands:
open multiple
append
examine (what's that?)

Notes after trying to run Grail
-------------------------------
- Grail does stuff to sys.path based on sys.argv[0]; you must set
sys.argv[0] to something decent first (it is normally set to the path of
the idle script).
- Grail must be exec'ed in __main__ because that's imported by some
other parts of Grail.
- Grail uses a module called History and so does idle :-(

Robin Friedrich's items:
Things I'd like to see:
- I'd like support for shift-click extending the selection. There's a
bug now that it doesn't work the first time you try it.
- Printing is needed. How hard can that be on Windows? FIRST CUT DONE
- The python-mode trick of autoindenting a line with <tab> is neat and
very handy.
- (someday) a spellchecker for docstrings and comments.
- a pagedown/up command key which moves to next class/def statement (top
level)
- split window capability
- DnD text relocation/copying
Things I don't want to see.
- line numbers... will probably slow things down way too much.
- Please use another icon for the tree browser leaf. The small snake
isn't cutting it.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
- Customizable views (multi-window or multi-pane). (Markus Gritsch)
- Being able to double click (maybe double right click) on a callable
object in the editor which shows the source of the object, if
possible. (Gerrit Holl)
- Hooks into the guts, like in Emacs. (Mike Romberg)
- Sharing the editor with a remote tutor. (Martijn Faassen)
- Multiple views on the same file. (Tony J Ibbs)
