1# IDLE reads several config files to determine user preferences.  This
2# file is the default config file for general idle settings.
3#
4# When IDLE starts, it will look in
5# the following two sets of files, in order:
6#
7#     default configuration files in idlelib
8#     --------------------------------------
9#     config-main.def         default general config file
10#     config-extensions.def   default extension config file
11#     config-highlight.def    default highlighting config file
12#     config-keys.def         default keybinding config file
13#
14#     user configuration files in ~/.idlerc
15#     -------------------------------------
16#     config-main.cfg         user general config file
17#     config-extensions.cfg   user extension config file
18#     config-highlight.cfg    user highlighting config file
19#     config-keys.cfg         user keybinding config file
20#
21# On Windows, the default location of the home directory ('~' above)
22# depends on the version.  For Windows 10, it is C:\Users\<username>.
23#
24# Any options the user saves through the config dialog will be saved to
25# the relevant user config file. Reverting any general or extension
26# setting to the default causes that entry to be wiped from the user
27# file and re-read from the default file.  This rule applies to each
28# item, except that the three editor font items are saved as a group.
29#
30# User highlighting themes and keybinding sets must have (section) names
31# distinct from the default names.  All items are added and saved as a
32# group. They are retained unless specifically deleted within the config
33# dialog. Choosing one of the default themes or keysets just applies the
34# relevant settings from the default file.
35#
36# Additional help sources are listed in the [HelpFiles] section below
37# and should be viewable by a web browser (or the Windows Help viewer in
38# the case of .chm files). These sources will be listed on the Help
39# menu.  The pattern, and two examples, are
40#
41# <sequence_number = menu item;/path/to/help/source>
42# 1 = IDLE;C:/Programs/Python36/Lib/idlelib/help.html
43# 2 = Pillow;https://pillow.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
44#
45# You can't use a semi-colon in a menu item or path.  The path will be
46# platform specific because of path separators, drive specs etc.
47#
48# The default files should not be edited except to add new sections to
49# config-extensions.def for added extensions .  The user files should be
50# modified through the Settings dialog.
