IDLE has two window types, the Shell window and the Editor window. It is
|
||||
possible to have multiple editor windows simultaneously. IDLE's
|

menus dynamically change based on which window is currently selected. Each menu
|
||||
documented below indicates which window type it is associated with. Click on

the dotted line at the top of a menu to "tear it off": a separate window

containing the menu is created (for Unix and Windows only).

IDLE has two main window types, the Shell window and the Editor window. It is
|
||||
possible to have multiple editor windows simultaneously. Output windows, such
|
||||
as used for Edit / Find in Files, are a subtype of edit window. They currently
|
||||
have the same top menu as Editor windows but a different default title and
|
||||
context menu.
