Seems like it would "borrow" things from the PyCharm IDE. Looks quite nice though.

What about it? Do you have a proposal for it? This list is for ideas for the future development of Python the programming language and the standard library. How does your idea relate to the language or stdlib? Instead of posting a screen shot, do you have a repo where we can look at the code? -- Steven

Q. When does a recycled decades-old design become new?' A. When an industry becomes part of the fashion industry. Except for the frame provided by the OS via tkinter, an Idle user can switch to white and colors on black, though it would be a bit tedious switching all 13 foreground/background pairs. Should a built-in retro-black theme be added? There is actually an issue (7949) about Idle not working well with dark GTK/KDE color schemes, and I believe such a color scheme would help.

Concept shows the Python IDE functionality to organize projects and files in own software and quick information on the status bar.

Displaying the manual entry for a selected function is an interesting idea, though that space is too small. A popup would be better, I think. A function signature, however, would usually fit nicely. So Idle could put signatures on the currently mostly unused status line in addition to an ephemeral calltip popup box (which also includes part of docstrings). It could also be less fussy about cursor positioning before allowing calltip to enable access to the information. Thank you for provoking 4 concrete ideas for Idle improvement, even though perhaps not your intention.

Some additional features:

* Autocomplete * Find and replace * Increase and decrease line indent * and more...

Already in Idle, though improvements are needed. -- Terry Jan Reedy
