I didn't notice that it was already used by IPython.\r\n\r\nAbout ETS, having a QLineEdit for 2 options is more silly than having a combobox. :tongue: Other options are a checkbox (which would be confusing) or 2 radio buttons, which would work well too. In any case it's not a big deal, only a minor improvement."}}
