Summary: Turning off calltip

Initial Comment:

Some users may not like calltips. As the google thread
above suggests, it must be possible to turn calltips off
from the configuratio dialog.

Yes, there are a couple of open bugs on calltips not
disappearing, e.g. when hitting esc.  These will be fixed,
and in 2.4 calltips will support class attributes.

Yes, the original mechanism for enabling extensions
is still available, that's what I was referring to.  Just
set 

[CallTips]
enable=0

and

[ParenMatch]
enable=1

in config-extensions.def or 
~/.idlerc/config-extensions.cfg

The question is whether to go to the effort of adding
a config GUI enhancement to support extensions, and
if so, at what priority relative to other things.

Patches are always welcome :-)

I support the original poster.  I also often find that
calltips are getting in the way (and they don't always go
away when you click on them; there may be a bug lurking
somewhere). Previously, IDLE had an option to disable
calltips and then you could enable another cool extension,
parentheses balancing. Is the code for that still around?

No current plans to add extensions to the config
system.  It's simple enough to modify
config-extensions.cfg (or .def) to turn off an 
extension.

I suspect if you use IDLE for awhile ignoring an
unwanted calltip will become second nature.
