[New-bugs-announce] [issue23954] Pressing enter/return or clicking IDLE's autocomplete does not select the option

[Al Sweigart]

New submission from Al Sweigart:

Currently, when you press Ctrl+Space or select Edit > Show Completions, a dropdown menu appears and lets you select an autocomplete option.

If you press Tab, the highlighted option in the dropdown is selected and your typing autocompletes. However, pressing enter (which is a natural way to select an option) does not work. Instead of newline is entered, which is an annoyance.

Also, clicking on the item with the mouse does not select an item from the dropdown either.
