I see pep8 doesn't take too kindly to being replaced, haha...

Thanks for doing up the PR, @dalthviz . I wasn't sure if @ccordoba12 had direct push access to the repo and could thus just commit it directly, or if there was anything else silly I was missing, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to waste your time actually doing the work for me...gotta make that big first PR sometime, and you can't start much smaller than this, heh.

No problem @CAM-Gerlach, if it fixes something it has value 👍 (even if it's something that only needs the change of a line). Also, normally we always do a PR, we never push directly to any branch (you could say this is kind of a standard practice for us). Furthermore, all the help you can give us is really appreciated! so if you want to do some fixes let us know :) . Basically just open a PR taking as base the branch where the problem is showing (3.x if is a bug present in 3.2.x and master, or master for bugs only present there).

Thanks ^_^. I feel bad submitting all these long and detailed issues and not actually pitching in to help; I've never done GUI/Qt anything so there's a lot to figure out there, and I'm not even anywhere near being a Python whiz, coming from a heavy R background. However, I've been working at it and actually was putting the finishing touches on a PR for my own issue when #5771 beat me to it. However, despite my n00bness my solution was essentially line for line what was in the PR, so that was a pretty encouraging start. Looking at some Community:Easy things right now, maybe starting with #5770 , and we'll see where it goes...I have quite a few different research and final projects on my plate at the moment as a grad student. In the meantime, I'm trying to do my part triaging and responding to the many issues reported here, most non-Spyder related it seems or lacking the information necessary to act on them. Cheers!

Thanks @CAM-Gerlach for your wanting to help us! As you said, it's a lot of work to respond to all the reported issues here.

Its the least I can do, @ccordoba12 ; the more regular folks like me can help deal with the perpetual daily grind of (mostly user-specific or non-Spyder) issues, writing/improving docs and (hopefully soon) simple PRs, the more time folks like you and @dalthviz have to build the really awesome stuff.
