IDLE is now the first Python editor in the Universe not confused by my
doctest.py <wink>.
As threatened, this defines IDLE's is_char_in_string function as a
method of EditorWindow. You just need to define one similarly in
whatever it is you pass as editwin to AutoIndent; looking at the
EditorWindow.py part of the patch should make this clear.
2. No longer need to reset pyclbr cache and show watch cursor when calling
ClassBrowser -- the ClassBrowser takes care of pyclbr and the TreeWidget
takes care of the watch cursor.
3. Reset the focus to the current window after error message about class
browser on buffer without filename.
I'm still unsure, but couldn't stand the virtual event trickery so tried a
different sin (adding undo_block_start/stop methods to the Text instance in
EditorWindow.py). Like it or not, it's efficient and works <wink>. Better
idea?
Give the attached a whirl. Even if you hate the implementation, I think
you'll like the results. Think I caught all the "block edit" cmds,
including Format Paragraph, plus subtler ones involving smart indents and
backspacing.
with changed APIs -- it makes much more sense there.
Also add a new feature: if the first character of a menu label is
a '!', it gets a checkbox. Checkboxes are bound to Boolean Tcl variables
that can be accessed through the new getvar/setvar/getrawvar API;
the variable is named after the event to which the menu is bound.
Much has changed -- too much, in fact, to write down.
The big news is that there's a standard way to write IDLE extensions;
see extend.txt. Some sample extensions have been provided, and
some existing code has been converted to extensions. Probably the
biggest new user feature is a new search dialog with more options,
search and replace, and even search in files (grep).
This is exactly as downloaded from my laptop after returning
from the holidays -- it hasn't even been tested on Unix yet.
