2019-03-06 21:51:18 -0500 marked best answer How load PYTHONSTARTUP for Debug Probe?

I know that I can specify a PYTHONSTARTUP file in the Environment section of the Environment tab of the Project Properties dialog, and I can see in the Python Shell tool that my file has in fact been loaded. However, when I am debugging my program the Debug Probe environment does not contain the definitions from my startup file. How do I  get the file to load into the debug environment?

2019-03-06 21:49:23 -0500 marked best answer What is auto-select?

Searching the documentation I find references to various commands that turn on "auto-select mode"; however, there are no matches for "auto-select" other than those commands, and no matches for "auto select" (without the hyphen) at all. I'm sure I once knew what this was, but I don't now. What is it? Please check that the answer to this is in the documentation even though I am not finding it, and if it is, tell me where.

For many years my custom keybindings have contained bindings for forward-definition and backward-definition. Yet, those editor commands do not exist (v. 6.1), and they are not in any of my scripts files..

I am perplexed, because I shouldn't be able to bind a key to a command that doesn't exist (at least not using the Preferences dialog — I do sometimes edit the preferences file directly, but this doesn't seem like how I would have assigned keys to these particular definitions). Furthermore, as a (very, very) long-time Emacs user, where I use that command often, this is a command I think would use fairly regularly in Wing. (I am using Wing for the first time in quite a while, so I may just be confused or misremembering.) Did they ever exist? Where did they go?

Well, "they are not in any of my scripts files" is not quite accurate. It wasn't in my version 6 scripts, and it wasn't

Thanks — that's all great information."Debugging" is inherently interactive, so it never occurred to me that the Wing de

Unless I explicitly import my PYTHONSTARTUP file into at least one module, top-level code it contains never gets execute
