[New-bugs-announce] [issue2049] IDLE - Restart Shell & Run Module

[Tal Einat]

New submission from Tal Einat:

When IDLE is run with a subprocess, add a 'Restart Shell & Run Module'
item to the 'Run' menu in editor windows. Also add Alt-F5 as a hotkey
for this item.

This is what the 'Run Module' (F5) item used to do (when there was a
subprocess). As of this patch 'Run Module' will not restart the shell
under any circumstances.


The advantages of this are that the user has more control (can run a
module in the shell either with or without restarting). It also avoids
surprising users which wouldn't expect 'Run Module' to restart the shell.


Based on changes proposed by Doug on idle-dev:
