gh-143774 - Improve IDLE Format Paragraph doc (GH-143775)
Add a reminder to not rewrap code line to the Menu => Format => Reformat Paragraph entry.
In Editing and Nagivagion, add a new 'Format block' subsection that defines 'paragraph'
to better match what is dependably handled as more or less expected.
In particular, specify equal indents and that the resulting indent equals original indent.
Also mention that selections are expanded to complete lines and how to modify max length.
(Also fix a couple case errors in cross references.)

Copy net new text in idle.rst from main to 3.13.
Make 3.13 docs and copy-strip idle.html to idlelib/help.html.
See https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/139707#issuecomment-3737374788
and PR #143718 message for more.
* Revert url to 'main' from '3.13'
The branch in the source links in the revised help.html
become '3.13' instead of 'main' because the html
was generated from an edited 3.13 version of idle.rst
instead being backported from main. This reversion
avoids the possibility of future backport merge conflicts.
The version makes no difference to the Help/IDLE doc display as
the url is currently neither displayed nor linked to the link title
-- 'Lib/idlelib'. If we do make the links live, we can use
sys.version_info to replace 'main' when main is no longer the source branch.

gh-112938: IDLE - Fix uninteruptable hang when Shell gets rapid continuous output. (GH-124310)
https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/88496 replaced text.update with text.update_idletasks in colorizer.py and outwin.py to fix test failures on macOS. While theoretically correct, the result was Shell freezing when receiving continuous short strings to print. Test: `while 1: 1`.
The guess is that there is no idle time in which to do the screen update. Reverting the change in one of the files,
outwin, fixes the issue. Colorizer runs ever 1/20 second and seems to work fine.
When running test-outwin on macOS, alias 'update'
to 'update_idletasks on the text used for testing.

gh-120083: Add IDLE Hovertip foreground color needed for recent macOS (GH-120605)
On recent versions of macOS (sometime between Catalina and Sonoma 14.5), the default Hovertip foreground color changed from black to white, thereby matching the background. This might be a matter of matching the white foreground of the dark-mode text. The unreadable result is shown here (GH-120083 (comment)).
The foreground and background colors were made parameters so we can pass different colors for future additional hovertips in IDLE.

IDLE: fix url in config.py comment (GH-119198)
(cherry picked from commit 357f5a1f73684d0c126a5e8f79d76ff3641c4d52)

Callbacks registered in the tkinter module now take arguments as
various Python objects (int, float, bytes, tuple), not just str.
To restore the previous behavior set tkinter module global wantobject to 1
before creating the Tk object or call the wantobject() method of the Tk object
with argument 1.
Calling it with argument 2 restores the current default behavior.
The platform standard on macOS is to show a proxy icon for open
files in the titlebar of Windows. Make sure IDLE matches this
behaviour.
Don't use both the long and short names in the window title.
The behaviour of other editors (such as Text Editor) is to show
only the short name with the proxy icon.

By default, it preserves an inconsistent behavior of older Python
versions: packs the count into a 1-tuple if only one or none
options are specified (including 'update'), returns None instead of 0.
Except that setting wantobjects to 0 no longer affects the result.
Add a new parameter return_ints: specifying return_ints=True makes
Text.count() always returning the single count as an integer
instead of a 1-tuple or None.
Also fix test_mousewheel: do not skip a check which was broken due to incorrect
delta on Aqua and XQuartz, and probably not because of `.update_idletasks()`.
Tkinter is a fact, not necessarily a feature.
Reorganize editor key bindings in a logical order
and remove those that do not work, at least on Windows.
Improve shell bindings list.
