1 # IDLE reads several config files to determine user preferences. This
2 # file is the default config file for general idle settings.
4 # When IDLE starts
, it will look in
5 # the following two sets of files
, in order
:
7 # default configuration
8 #
---------------------
9 # config
-main.def the default general config file
10 # config
-extensions.def the default extension config file
11 # config
-highlight.def the default highlighting config file
12 # config
-keys.def the default keybinding config file
16 # ~
/.idlerc
/config
-main.cfg the user general config file
17 # ~
/.idlerc
/config
-extensions.cfg the user extension config file
18 # ~
/.idlerc
/config
-highlight.cfg the user highlighting config file
19 # ~
/.idlerc
/config
-keys.cfg the user keybinding config file
21 # On Windows2000 and Windows XP the .idlerc directory is at
22 # Documents and Settings\
<username
>\.idlerc
24 # On Windows98 it is at c
:\.idlerc
26 # Any options the user saves through the config dialog will be saved to
27 # the relevant user config file. Reverting any general setting to the
28 # default causes that entry to be wiped from the user file and re
-read
29 # from the default file. User highlighting themes or keybinding sets are
30 # retained unless specifically deleted within the config dialog. Choosing
31 # one of the default themes or keysets just applies the relevant settings
32 # from the default file.
34 # Additional help sources are listed in the
[HelpFiles
] section and must be
35 # viewable by a web
browser (or the Windows Help viewer in the case of .chm
36 # files
). These sources will be listed on the Help menu. The pattern is
37 #
<sequence_number
= menu item
;/path
/to
/help
/source
>
38 # You can
't use a semi-colon in a menu item or path. The path will be platform
39 # specific because of path separators, drive specs etc.
41 # It is best to use the Configuration GUI to set up additional help sources!
