Add a Token Browser command to a new Browse menu (Shell and editor). It opens a window listing the Python tokens of the editor content, or of the selection if there is one, with the token type names colored as by "python -m tokenize". There is one browser per editor; invoking the command again refreshes it and selects the token at the cursor. Selecting rows highlights the matching regions in the editor and, while the browser has focus, moves the editor cursor there; selecting text or moving the cursor in the editor selects the matching rows. Double-clicking a row (or pressing Escape) hides the browser, revealing the editor at the token. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Add a Token Browser extension on the Tools menu (Shell and editor). It shows the output of
tokenizefor the current window in attk.Treeview, one row per token with its type, string, and range.Selecting a row highlights the corresponding source in the editor; double-clicking moves the cursor to that token. The browser follows the editor: a selection selects every overlapping token row, and the cursor alone selects the single token containing it. Scope is the editor selection if there is one, else the Shell's current input, else the whole window.
