Output over N lines (50 by default) is squeezed down to a button.
476+
N can be changed in the PyShell section of the General page of the
477+
Settings dialog. Fewer, but possibly extra long, lines can be squeezed by
478+
right clicking on the output. Squeezed output can be expanded in place
479+
by double-clicking the button or into the clipboard or a separate window
480+
by right-clicking the button. (Contributed by Tal Einat in :issue:`1529353`.)

Add "Run Customized" to the Run menu to run a module with customized
483+
settings. Any command line arguments entered are added to sys.argv.
484+
They also re-appear in the box for the next customized run. One can also
485+
suppress the normal Shell main module restart. (Contributed by Cheryl
486+
Sabella, Terry Jan Reedy, and others in :issue:`5680` and :issue:`37627`.)
487+
488+
Add optional line numbers for IDLE editor windows. Windows
489+
open without line numbers unless set otherwise in the General
490+
tab of the configuration dialog. Line numbers for an existing
491+
window are shown and hidden in the Options menu.
