Sounds reasonable to me as well. I believe this has already been asked for
in the past, I'll have to look it up.

2) Disable by default (or ask for confirmation on) Control+p. How many

After prvious discussion on idle-dev, I've recently submitted a patch which
causes a yes/no dialog asking "are you sure you want to print?" to appear.
If you like the idea, please try it out and post a (hopefully positive)
review: SourceForge patch
1717170<https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=1717170&group_id=5470&atid=305470>
.

BTW, the hotkey for print has been recently changed to Ctrl+t instead of
Ctrl+p in the SVN.
