Summary: IDLE: config-main.def contains windows-specific settings
Initial Comment:
The default values in config-main.def contain values that are specific for
Windows. This means that the key-bindings for other platforms, such as
OSX will be wrong (because config-main selects the windows keybindings
as the default keybindings).
I've worked around this by copying a mac version of config-main.def over
the installed version of config-main.def from Mac/IDLE/Makefile.in. That
is obviously a crude hack, but I know of no better solution.

Not so crude, since there is a Mac/IDLE/ dir? I
gather this works ok for 2.5 installs on OSX?
Perhaps IDLE should be modified to try to detect
the platform and only use the entry in
config-main.def if detection fails. The [keys]
section is necessary, I believe, to mirror the
[keys] section in the user's config-main.cfg if
he changes keybindings.
But you would still need Mac/IDLE/, would you not?
