The menu items and Windows shortcuts work on Windows 10.  Several shortcuts and some menu items do not work on macOS.  The latter is true for the undo and clipboard  items at the top of the Edit menu.  The shortcuts do cause 'Edit' to flash, indicating that the shortcut was recognized and suggesting that the corresponding event handler was called.

If so, this is not obviously an IDLE issue.  IDLE calls tkinter.filedialog.SaveAs.  IDLE does nothing with its key bindings and I do not believe it could.  Tkinter calls tk_getSaveFile.  https://www.tcl.tk/man/tcl8.6/TkCmd/getOpenFile.htm.  So this might instead be a tkinter or tcl/tk issue.

To decide, someone should write a short IDLE-free tkinter program that calls the tkinter SaveAs function.  If that fails, a wish tk program could be tested.
