On windows we're stuck with IDLDE. It has some of the intelligence you
ask for, as well as a few peculiarities.
I nominate the following for the shortlist of improvements:
* You should be able to paste more than one line into the cmd-line.
* To get focus on the log window or an edit window (so that you can copy
from/to it using kbrd shortcuts) you have to click on the window with
the mouse. None of the kbrd shortcuts for changing focus work.
I'd like standard windows behaviour here, please.
