It is meant primarily to aid one when working with the little +details inside tcl and tk and to give Unix users the GUI console provided +by default in the Mac and Windows Tk. + +FEATURES: + Command history + Path (Unix style) / Proc / Variable name expansion + Multiple and tabbed consoles, each with its own state (via multiple + interpreters) + Captures stdout and stderr to console window (puts overridden) + Hot errors (click on error result to see stack trace) + Electric character matching (a la emacs) + Electric proc highlighting + Enhanced history searching + Configurable + Cut / Copy / Paste between windows (interoperates with native platform) + Communication between consoles and other Tk interpreters + (including non-tcl ones) + Works on all Tk platforms + +CONTACT: Jeffrey Hobbs, jeff at hobbs dot org + +GETTING STARTED: + +tkcon is a single drop-in file. On Windows, I place this on the desktop +and double-click on it instead of wish/tclsh. On Unix and OS X, I place it +in a directory on my path and run this instead of wish. + +Documentation can be reading by starting with index.html in the docs/ +subdirectory. Happying Tcl'ing! |
