Is there a keyboard shortcut to clear a line for the Python IDLE shell? I know Ctrl-K works if you are at the beginning of a line, but is there a shortcut to do it when you are at the end?

If you set idle’s
Key SettoIDLE Classic Unix(Options -> Configure -> Use a Built-in Key Set -> IDLE Classic Unix) you’ll at least be able to get the same effect withC-a C-k. There doesn’t seem to be anything that resemblesC-uin Emacs, for example.You could look into
EditorWindow.pyandconfigHandler.pyif you’re willing to add the functionality yourself (though it seems thatC-kis a default binding in tk’s editor widget).
