Yeah this was a bit discouraging to me in the past -- that it didn't
seem like good fixes were getting onto the main distribution. IIRC
there are a lot of good bits in the fork.

It's been a little while but I remember us talking about some useful
pieces like having any keystroke take you back to the interpreter
prompt, regardless of where you are reading, and having the arrow
up/down keys act as alt-p alt-n . Those would be great imo.

How can I help??!!! Grab some bugs from the bug tracker? Is there
somebody quarterbacking IDLE dev these days?
