[issue43894] IDLE editor file minor refactoring

[Éric Araujo]

Hello and thanks for wanting to contribute to Python!

In the CPython project, stylistic changes are not made by themselves as a matter of course (accross the whole codebase or in a specific module): among reasons, these obfuscate file history, need reviewer time that takes away from other changes, and can introduce subtle bugs.  Or in short: if it’s not broken, don’t fix it!

This is different from other projects, especially those that have a smaller codebase, much less history than Python, and can agree on using some automated tool for trivial formatting changes.

So if the changes here are not motivated by a bugfix or a new features, I think they should not be accepted.
