Currently, hitting the keyboard shortcut for the Print command sends whatever is in the current window to be printed. This happens by accident often enough to be a significant annoyance.

This simple patch to IOBinding.py makes the print command pop up a simple yes/no dialog which asks "Are you sure you want to print the window's contents?".

Some colleagues and I have been using this for several months to our satisfaction. It has saved me from printing by accident 3 times already.

Uploaded updated patch, with extremely minor fix: use tkMessageBox.YES instead of "yes" when checking the dialog's result.

On a different note, this is a very simple and minor patch, but will be very helpful to all users. Please give it a quick look...

:)

Minor note - shouldn't there be a question mark at the end of the message?
