* Only create CodeContext instances for "real" editors windows, but
not e.g. shell or output windows.
* Remove configuration update Tk event fired every second, by having
the editor window ask its code context widget to update when
necessary, i.e. upon font or highlighting updates.
* When code context isn't being shown, avoid having a Tk event fired
every 100ms to check whether the code context needs to be updated.
* Use the editor window's getlineno() method where applicable.
* Update font of the code context widget before the main text widget
The initialize options are 1) add command line options, which are appended to sys.argv as if passed on a real command line, and 2) skip the shell restart. The customization dialog is accessed by a new entry on the Run menu.
The Code Context menu label now toggles between Show/Hide Code Context.
The Zoom Height menu now toggles between Zoom/Restore Height.
Zoom Height has moved from the Window menu to the Options menu.

Create a template for minimally testing a tkinter-using module by importing it and instantiating its class(es). Add a test file for all non-startup IDLE modules. Edit existing files and update coverage. This is part 1 of 3, covering the 21 autocomplete to help modules and touching 33 idlelib files.
Previously, the mouse wheel and scrollbar slider moved text by a fixed
number of pixels, resulting in partial lines at the top of the editor
box. The change also applies to the shell and grep output windows,
but not to read-only text views.
In text and entry boxes, this affects selection by double-click,
movement left/right by control-left/right, and deletion left/right
by control-BACKSPACE/DEL.
Editor and output windows only see an empty last prompt line.
This simplifies the code and fixes a minor bug when newline is inserted.
Sys.ps1, if present, is read on Shell start-up, but is not set or changed.
Passing a widget instead of an flist with a root widget opens the option of
creating a browser frame that is only part of a window. Passing a full file
name instead of pieces assumed to come from a .py file opens the possibility
of browsing python files that do not end in .py.
The original module-level class and method browser became a module
browser, with the addition of module-level functions, years ago.
Nested classes and functions were added yesterday. For back-
compatibility, the virtual event <<open-class-browser>>, which
appears on the Keys tab of the Settings dialog, is not changed.
Patch by Cheryl Sabella.
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 happened because shortcut has a class binding and 'break' was not returned.
Fix other potential conflicts between IDLE and default key bindings.
* Add news item
* Update NEWS
help.txt, replaced by help.html, is out-of-date and should not be used.
Its dedicated viewer has be replaced by the html viewer in help.py.
'import idlever; I = idlever.IDLE_VERSION' is the same as
'import sys; I = version[:version.index(' ')]'
This follows the previous patch that changed idlelib file names.
Class names that matched old module names are not changed.
Change idlelib imports in turtledemo.__main__.
Exception: config-extensions.def. Previously, extension section
names, file names, and class names had to match. Changing section
names would create cross-version conflicts in config-extensions.cfg
(user customizations). Instead map old names to new file names
at point of import in editor.EditorWindow.load_extension.
Patch extensively tested with test_idle, idle_test.htest.py, a custom
import-all test, running IDLE in a console to catch messages,
and testing each menu item. Based on a patch by Al Sweigart.
