> is the system use of CMD-M newer than IDLE's (15 years?)?
macOS has been using CMD-M for minimize for quite a while. It's listed in the current Apple "Human Interface Guidelines" which is the reference document that Apple itself and third-parties are strongly encouraged to follow (sort of the PEP 8 for macOS UIs). It's probably a good idea for anyone working on the IDLE UI to read through the macOS section at least once.
Note that they discourage the use of the Control key as a modifier and they also encourage the use of the Shift key as a secondary modifier "when a shortcut complements another shortcut". Following those suggestions, perhaps a better choice for "Open Module" would be Shift-Command-O (complementing "Open File" Command-O), if it isn't already being used by IDLE.
