[issue24781] Improve UX of IDLE Highlighting configuration tab

[Mark Roseman]

Mark Roseman added the comment:

Looking to get some feedback on a large chunk of new code (not yet complete), for the 'new' preferences dialog. Not so much UI things as if I've made any glaring structural errors which aren't obvious to this Python sorta-newbie.

For lack of a better place, I've attached prefs-wip.patch, which just contains code for four entirely new files (querydialog.py, tkextras.py, uifactory.py, and uipreferences.py), no changes to existing files. You should be able to run it standalone just with e.g. "python -m idlelib.uipreferences"

There's some comments at the start of uipreferences.py regarding structural changes from the code in the original configDialog.py.

Thanks!
