Jitterbug-Id: 354 Submitted-By: gpk@bell-labs.com Date: Tue, 13 Jun 2000 10:05:35 -0400 (EDT) Version: 1.6a2+ OS: Solaris sparc 2.6 Alt-w is advertised to copy the selected text. It doesn't. It pops up the 'window' menu. However, even if you are in the 'edit' menu, alt-w apparently does nothing. I can select text, do alt-E alt-W, move the pointer, then do ctrl-Y, and nothing pops up. By the way, 'ctl-U ctl-U ctl-S' is an absurdly long sequence for something as common as searching for text. ==================================================================== Audit trail: Tue Jul 11 08:26:00 2000 guido moved from incoming to open

This is still broken in IDLE 0.6 in Python 2.0. I doubt that I'll have time to fix it -- the keyboard bindings in general are utterly weird and inconsistent. So I'll add an item to PEP-42 (the wish-list) and close this bug report.
