Is this what you want? This would seem reasonable >> and likely easy. The Shell window is a subclass of the (base) Editor window. So enhancement 1, invoke ask-to-save after save-as should be easy. Find the current code (grep the message) and determine why it does not work for the shell. Saving the shell is, I believe, rare, and I believe there is half a chance that a person who has saved the shell once will want to do so again. >> (I would, however, not want the prompt when the buffer >> has not been saved -- or this could be a configuration option.) Enhancement 2 would be adding a configuration option to invoke ask-to-save even without save-as. I am sure that this would be harder. > Yeah thats what I want. > In a file-window there is 'ask-to-save' as soon as a single character is typed. > I want similar for shell window. > As I said if there is a config option for that, thats best. > But if I have to put in a few lines in my own idle that's fine too². > [BTW I have some other feature requests too. Is this the best forum to talk of them? And thanks for your work on idle :-) ] Idle-sig is pretty dead, so go ahead here. You do not have to search the tracker if you do not want to. I have a categorized list of all Idle issues on the tracker (with issue numbers) and will look up ideas against that list anyway. -- Terry Jan Reedy
