I don't want to complicate the IDLE interface and confuse the users with an additional decision (or a chording keypress for the normal state) for this very special case (messing up a connection to a robot). One of the main features of using the IDLE subprocess is a clean restart and reload of all code being run. An alternate approach would be to have a config-main item which if set (and not settable in the Options Dialog!) would skip the Shell restart when running code with F5. The user could then hit Ctrl-F6 when he did want a restart.
