Ctrl-K : interact with marked editor lines in Interactive (in __main__)

Thanks! But I think I'd prefer to see most of the help functionality in pywin/framework/help.py which already has support for the help menus. If we have support for the keyboard for these new help files, the menu should probably get them too (which the short-cut keys included) - but that might make things ugly given many people may not have wx or numpy installed. I wonder how hard it would be to refactor some of that and only show menu items if the help file is installed?
well, keyword help code perhaps could go permanently to help.py or the editor code.
because probably there remain mainly only 2 kind of actions: keyword -> helpfile, keyword -> URL-templatestring "http:/....xy=%s". the only special handling, keyword modification "wx%s" could be also enabled by a predefined scheme. For the rest a (short) .cfg handler could still use the functions from pywin.framework.help.
for (optional) help files a keyword help key could be set together with the help file (.chm or ULR) in registry, valueName/value like
default="http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Search/en-US/?Query=%s"
keyword_help_key=Alt+F1
WX-C-Help..
keyword_help_key=F12
keyword_help_keyword="wx%s"
