Instead of displaying a fixed number of lines, some blank, Code Context
now displays the variable number of actual context lines. When there
are no context lines, it shows a single blank line to indicate that the
feature is turned on.
The Code Context configuration option is changed from 'numlines'
(default 3) to 'maxlines' (default 15) to avoid possible interference
between user settings for the old and new versions of Code Context.
Even if one selects a font that defines a limited subset of the unicode
Basic Multilingual Plane, tcl/tk will use other fonts that define a
character. The expanded example give users of non-Latin characters
a better idea of what they might see in the IDLE shell and editors.
To make room for the expanded sample, frames on the Font tab are
re-arranged. The Font/Tabs help explains a bit about the additions.
About 10 IDLE features were implemented as supposedly optional
extensions. Their different behavior could be confusing or worse for
users and not good for maintenance. Hence the conversion.
The main difference for users is that user configurable key bindings
for builtin features are now handled uniformly. Now, editing a binding
in a keyset only affects its value in the keyset. All bindings are
defined together in the system-specific default keysets in config-
extensions.def. All custom keysets are saved as a whole in config-
extension.cfg. All take effect as soon as one clicks Apply or Ok.
The affected events are '<<force-open-completions>>', '<<expand-word>>',
'<<force-open-calltip>>', '<<flash-paren>>', '<<format-paragraph>>',
'<<run-module>>', '<<check-module>>', and '<<zoom-height>>'. Any
(global) customizations made before 3.6.3 will not affect their keyset-
specific customization after 3.6.3. and vice versa.
Inital patch by Charles Wohlganger, revised by Terry Jan Reedy.
This is the first half of a patch similar to the one for for bpo-31205. It is being split into 2 PRs to avoid what happened with PR-3096 -- an incomprehensible diff that could not be cleanly backported to 3.6. This half copies several methods of ConfigDialog and turns them into a new class.
The notebook looks a bit better. It will work better with separate page classes. Traversal of widgets by Tab works better. Switching tabs with keys becomes possible. The font sample box works better at large font sizes.
One of the two simulated click tests no longer works. This will be investigated while fixing a bug with the widget itself.
Instance tracers manages pairs consisting of a tk variable and a
callback function. When tracing is turned on, setting the variable
calls the function. Test coverage for the new class is 100%.
Finish resorting the 72 ConfigDialog methods into 7 groups that represent the dialog, action buttons, and font, highlight, keys, general, and extension pages. This will help with continuing to add tests and improve the pages. It will enable splitting ConfigDialog into 6 or 7 more comprehensible classes.
* In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_page_general.
Move related functions to follow this. Simplify some attribute names.
* In test_configdialog: Add tests for load and helplist functions.
Coverage for the general tab is now complete, and 63% overall.
In configdialog: Document causal pathways in create_font_tab docstring. Simplify some attribute names. Move set_samples calls to var_changed_font (idea from Cheryl Sabella). Move related functions to positions after the create widgets function.
In test_configdialog: Fix test_font_set so not order dependent. Fix renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget. Adjust tests for movement of set_samples call. Add tests for load functions. Put all font tests in one class and tab indent tests in another. Except for two lines, these tests completely cover the related functions.
* Document causal event pathways in docstring.
* Simplify some attribute names.
* Rename test_bold_toggle_set_samples to make test_font_set fail.
* Fix test_font_set so not order dependent.
* Fix renamed test_indent_scale so it tests the widget.
* In config, put dump test code in a function; run it and unittest in 'if __name__ == '__main__'.
* Add class config.ConfigChanges based on changes_class_v4.py on bpo issue.
* Add class test_config.ChangesTest, partly based on configdialog_tests_v1.py on bpo issue.
* Revise configdialog to use ConfigChanges, mostly as specified in tracker msg297804.
* Revise test_configdialog to match configdialog changes. All tests pass in both files.
* Remove configdialog functions unused or moved to ConfigChanges.
Cheryl Sabella contributed parts of the patch.
* Add 'parens' style to highlight both opener and closer.
* Make 'default' style, which is not default, a synonym for 'opener'.
* Make time-delay work the same with all styles.
* Add help for config dialog extensions tab, including parenmatch.
* Add new tests.
