[issue18444] IDLE: Mac OS X pressing ctrl-A in Python shell moved cursor before the prompt, which then makes the keyboard unresponsive.

[Todd Rovito]

New submission from Todd Rovito:

covers point 1.1) "Pressing the Home key moves the cursor before the >>> prompt, which then makes the keyboard unresponsive."

This issues was fixed on Windows XP and Linux here http://bugs.python.org/issue3851


On Mac OS X the "home" key is control-A or function left arrow both have the same effect of moving the cursor left of prompt, which them makes the keyboard unresponsive.  I tested this with Python 3.4 and Python 2.7 on Mac OS X 10.8.4.
