Re: IDLE editor suggestion.

It would be nice to have a
pull-down text box that lists
all of the searches

  I tried to get such a box by changing the file "searchbase.py"
  of the IDLE source code adding ", Combobox" to the line

from tkinter.ttk import Frame, Entry, Label, Button, Checkbutton, Radiobutton

  and replacing

Entry(self.frame, textvariable=var, exportselection=0)

  by

Combobox( self.frame, textvariable=var, exportselection=0,
  values=[ 'alpha', 'beta', 'gamma' ])

  . However, when I try it out, it seems to work for some time, but
  then IDLE freezes when trying to open a new search box.

  (If this problem could be solved, one would still need to add
  some more code to add to the search strings to the value list.)
