[issue46666] IDLE Add indent guide

[Terry J. Reedy]

Terry J. Reedy <tjreedy at udel.edu> added the comment:

[Please just select the current development version.  Others can be marked if and when backported.  3.8 and before only get security fixes.  Same for 3.9 after about next May 31.]

Please explain exactly what you want and rewrite something like the following.
if a:
    if b:
        if c:
            pass
    if d:
        pass

IDLE's code context feature (Options menu) could be considered an indent guide.  In some ways, it is better.


What you see in the editor is what is saved (including when running), so any non-code additions have to be removed first.
