[New-bugs-announce] [issue23180] Rename IDLE's "Windows" menu item to "Window"

[Al Sweigart]

New submission from Al Sweigart:

Currently IDLE's top-level menu item is "Windows" on Windows & Linux but is specifically changed to "Window" on OS X to match mac's look and feel. See https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/1b3b6b1982aa

The singular "Window" is the standard menu name on all platforms, and "Windows" should never be used. Note: Photoshop, Blender, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, WinMerge, HxD, and Notepad++ on Windows use the "Window" name in their menus. I can't find any that use "Windows".
