[issue46497] IDLE macOS shortcut ctrl+S doesn’t work for show completions

[David Contreras]

New submission from David Contreras <dvd.cnt at gmail.com>:

I noticed that selecting Edit>Show Completions works as expected on Python 3.10.2 and macOS 12.1 after issue 40128 was resolved.

But trying the default keyboard shortcut ctrl+S only highlights the edit menu but doesn't work.

I understand that it's supposed to be ctrl+space because that's how it works on windows and it also works in macOS after disabling the default behavior for ctrl+space but this doesn't highlight the edit menu.

On the original issue this behavior was also described but now the issue is closed and the behavior is the same.

So ctrl+S highlights the edit menu but doesn’t show completions and ctrl+space shows completions but has a conflict with the default macOS keyboard shortcuts and is not the shortcut specified on the edit menu and it doesn’t highlight it.
