** TIPS **
==========

Additional Help Sources:

Windows users can Google on zopeshelf.chm to access Zope help files in
	the Windows help format.  The Additional Help Sources feature of the
	configuration GUI supports .chm, along with any other filetypes
	supported by your browser.  Supply a Menu Item title, and enter the
	location in the Help File Path slot of the New Help Source dialog.  Use
	http:// and/or www. to identify external URLs, or download the file and
	browse for its path on your machine using the Browse button.

All users can access the extensive sources of help, including
	tutorials, available at www.python.org/doc.  Selected URLs can be added
	or removed from the Help menu at any time using Configure IDLE.

Basic editing and navigation:

Backspace deletes char to the left; DEL deletes char to the right.
	Control-backspace deletes word left, Control-DEL deletes word right.
	Arrow keys and Page Up/Down move around.
	Control-left/right Arrow moves by words in a strange but useful way.
	Home/End go to begin/end of line.
	Control-Home/End go to begin/end of file.
	Some useful Emacs bindings are inherited from Tcl/Tk:
		Control-a     beginning of line
		Control-e     end of line
		Control-k     kill line (but doesn't put it in clipboard)
		Control-l     center window around the insertion point
	Standard Windows bindings may work on that platform.
	Keybindings are selected in the Settings Dialog, look there.

Automatic indentation:

After a block-opening statement, the next line is indented by 4 spaces
	(in the Python Shell window by one tab).  After certain keywords
	(break, return etc.) the next line is dedented.  In leading
	indentation, Backspace deletes up to 4 spaces if they are there.  Tab
	inserts spaces (in the Python Shell window one tab), number depends on
	Indent Width.  (N.B. Currently tabs are restricted to four spaces due
	to Tcl/Tk issues.)

See also the indent/dedent region commands in the edit menu.

Completions:

Completions are supplied for functions, classes, and attributes of
	classes, both built-in and user-defined.  Completions are also provided
	for filenames.

The AutoCompleteWindow (ACW) will open after a predefined delay
	(default is two seconds) after a '.' or (in a string) an os.sep is
	typed.  If after one of those characters (plus zero or more other
	characters) you type a Tab the ACW will open immediately if a possible
	continuation is found.

If there is only one possible completion for the characters entered, a
	Tab will supply that completion without opening the ACW.

'Show Completions' will force open a completions window.  In an empty
	string, this will contain the files in the current directory.  On a
	blank line, it will contain the built-in and user-defined functions and
	classes in the current name spaces, plus any modules imported.  If some
	characters have been entered, the ACW will attempt to be more specific.

If string of characters is typed, the ACW selection will jump to the
	entry most closely matching those characters. Entering a Tab will cause
	the longest non-ambiguous match to be entered in the Edit window or
	Shell.  Two Tabs in a row will supply the current ACW selection, as
	will Return or a double click.  Cursor keys, Page Up/Down, mouse
	selection, and the scrollwheel all operate on the ACW.

'Hidden' attributes can be accessed by typing the beginning of hidden
	name after a '.'.  e.g. '_'.  This allows access to modules with
	'__all__' set, or to class-private attributes.

Completions and the 'Expand Word' facility can save a lot of typing!

Completions are currently limited to those in the namespaces.  Names in
	an Edit window which are not via __main__ or sys.modules will not be
	found.  Run the module once with your imports to correct this
	situation.  Note that IDLE itself places quite a few modules in
	sys.modules, so much can be found by default, e.g. the re module.

If you don't like the ACW popping up unbidden, simply make the delay
	longer or disable the extension.  OTOH, you could make the delay zero.

You could also switch off the CallTips extension.  (We will be adding
	a delay to the call tip window.)

Python Shell window:

Control-c interrupts executing command.
	Control-d sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at >>> prompt
		(this is Control-z on Windows).

Command history:

Alt-p retrieves previous command matching what you have typed.
	Alt-n retrieves next.
	      (These are Control-p, Control-n on the Mac)
	Return while cursor is on a previous command retrieves that command.
	Expand word is also useful to reduce typing.

Syntax colors:

The coloring is applied in a background "thread", so you may
	occasionally see uncolorized text.  To change the color
	scheme, use the Configure IDLE / Highlighting dialog.

Python default syntax colors:

Keywords	orange
	Builtins	royal purple
	Strings		green
	Comments	red
	Definitions	blue

Shell default colors:

Console output	brown
	stdout		blue
	stderr		red
	stdin		black

Other preferences:

The font preferences, keybinding, and startup preferences can
	be changed using the Settings dialog.

Command line usage:

Enter idle -h at the command prompt to get a usage message.

Running without a subprocess:

If IDLE is started with the -n command line switch it will run in a
	single process and will not create the subprocess which runs the RPC
	Python execution server.  This can be useful if Python cannot create
	the subprocess or the RPC socket interface on your platform.  However,
	in this mode user code is not isolated from IDLE itself.  Also, the
	environment is not restarted when Run/Run Module (F5) is selected.  If
	your code has been modified, you must reload() the affected modules and
	re-import any specific items (e.g. from foo import baz) if the changes
	are to take effect.  For these reasons, it is preferable to run IDLE
	with the default subprocess if at all possible.

Extensions:

IDLE contains an extension facility.  See the beginning of
	config-extensions.def in the idlelib directory for further information.
	The default extensions are currently:

FormatParagraph
		AutoExpand
		ZoomHeight
		ScriptBinding
		CallTips
		ParenMatch
		AutoComplete
		CodeContext
