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. Currently tabs are restricted to four spaces +due to Tcl/Tk limitations. + +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) a tab is typed 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, by default +the ``C-space`` will 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 a 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 Editor +window or Shell. Two ``tab`` 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 scroll wheel 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 Editor window which are not via ``__main__`` and ``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. Or another option is the delay could +be set to zero. Another alternative to preventing ACW popups is to +disable the call tips extension. + + +Python Shell window +------------------- + +* ``C-c`` interrupts executing command + +* ``C-d`` sends end-of-file; closes window if typed at a ``>>>`` + prompt (this is ``C-z`` on Windows). + +* ``Alt-/`` (Expand word) is also useful to reduce typing + + Command history + + * ``Alt-p`` retrieves previous command matching what you have typed. + On OS X use ``C-p``. + + * ``Alt-n`` retrieves next. On OS X use ``C-n``. + + * ``Return`` while on any previous command retrieves that command + + +Syntax colors +============= + +The coloring is applied in a background "thread," so you may +occasionally see uncolorized text. To change the color scheme, edit +the ``[Colors]`` section in ``config.txt``. + +Python syntax colors: + Keywords + orange + + Strings + green + + Comments + red + + Definitions + blue + +Shell colors: + Console output + brown + + stdout + blue + + stderr + dark green + + stdin + black + + +Startup +======= + +Upon startup with the ``-s`` option, IDLE will execute the file +referenced by the environment variables ``IDLESTARTUP`` or +``PYTHONSTARTUP``. IDLE first checks for ``IDLESTARTUP``; if +``IDLESTARTUP`` is present the file referenced is run. If +``IDLESTARTUP`` is not present, IDLE checks for ``PYTHONSTARTUP``. +Files referenced by these environment variables are convenient places +to store functions that are used frequently from the IDLE shell, or +for executing import statements to import common modules. + +In addition, ``Tk`` also loads a startup file if it is present. Note +that the Tk file is loaded unconditionally. This additional file is +``.Idle.py`` and is looked for in the user's home directory. +Statements in this file will be executed in the Tk namespace, so this +file is not useful for importing functions to be used from IDLE's +Python shell. + + +Command line usage +------------------ + + idle.py [-c command] [-d] [-e] [-s] [-t title] [arg] ... + + -c command run this command + -d enable debugger + -e edit mode; arguments are files to be edited + -s run $IDLESTARTUP or $PYTHONSTARTUP first + -t title set title of shell window + +If there are arguments: + +1. If ``-e`` is used, arguments are files opened for editing and + ``sys.argv`` reflects the arguments passed to IDLE itself. + +2. Otherwise, if ``-c`` is used, all arguments are placed in + ``sys.argv[1:...]``, with ``sys.argv[0]`` set to ``'-c'``. + +3. Otherwise, if neither ``-e`` nor ``-c`` is used, the first argument + is a script which is executed with the remaining arguments in + ``sys.argv[1:...]`` and ``sys.argv[0]`` set to the script name. + If the script name is '-', no script is executed but an interactive + Python session is started; the arguments are still available in + ``sys.argv``. + + +Additional help sources +======================= + +IDLE includes a help menu entry called "Python Docs" that will open +the extensive sources of help, including tutorials, available at +docs.python.org. Selected URLs can be added or removed from the help +menu at any time using the Configure IDLE dialog.

Otherwise, if neither -e nor -c is used, the first argument is a - script which is executed with the remaining arguments in - sys.argv[1:...] and sys.argv[0] set to the script name. If the - script name is -, no script is executed but an interactive Python - session is started; the arguments are still available in sys.argv. - -Running without a subprocess: (DEPRECATED in Python 3.5 see Issue 16123) - - 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.
