GH-88564: IDLE - fix 2 Edit menu hotkey displays #99743
Conversation
On Mac Cocoa, ^+backspace and ^+space were misdisplayed
as ^B and ^S. Replace 'backslash' with '\' everywhere,
just as 'slash', for example, is replaced with '/'.
On Mac Cocoa, change'space' to 'Space', which then displays
as 'Space' instead of 'S'. ('Space' is also used for the
Mac-specific Emoji & Symbols entry.)

@ronaldoussoren Besides Windows, I tested this on Catalina by editing installed editor.py. Is the space-> Space fix only needed for Cocoa? |

The test failure is hanging for 20 minutes in |

This PR does not work for me. If I manually apply the patch to an installed copy of Python 3.12 IDLE crashes when I try to open the Edit menu ("segmentation fault"). Reverting the patch fixes the crash. The crash report has a stack trace somewhere deep inside system frameworks with Tk on the call stack. The fix is likely only needed for Cocoa, otherwise we'd have reports from other platforms as well. But that's not something I can test, I can only test using the copy of Tk shipped with out installers. |
