That's because Linux isn't using Tk 8.5 yet. Debian defaults to Tk 8.5 in experimental since March. Most Linux is Tk 8.4.
No, that's wrong. Tk here is 8.6:
$ ldd build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.2/_tkinter.so [...] libtk8.6.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libtk8.6.so.0 (0x00007f4eb9259000) libtcl8.6.so.0 => /usr/lib64/libtcl8.6.so.0 (0x00007f4eb8f07000) [...]
$ ./python -c "import tkinter; print(tkinter.TkVersion)" 8.6

Looks much better in 8.5 and the shortcuts work. http://images.rant.ml1.net/idle2.gif
Well, this is a Windows screenshot. I'm under Linux.
