[issue2049] IDLE - Restart Shell & Run Module

[Kurt B. Kaiser]

Kurt B. Kaiser added the comment:

I don't want to complicate the IDLE interface and confuse the users 
with an additional decision (or a chording keypress for the normal 
state) for this very special case (messing up a connection to a 
robot).  One of the main features of using the IDLE subprocess is a 
clean restart and reload of all code being run.

An alternate approach would be to have a config-main item which if 
set (and not settable in the Options Dialog!) would skip the Shell 
restart when running code with F5.  The user could then hit Ctrl-F6
when he did want a restart.
