ANNOUNCE: tkcon v2.3 - Enhanced Tk Console
Jeff Hobbs
WHERE: http://tkcon.sourceforge.net/
REQUIREMENTS: Tcl/Tk 8.0+ (tested through 8.4a3cvs)
tkcon is all Tcl/Tk code, no compiling required
WHY: tkcon is a replacement for the standard console that comes with
Tk (on Windows/Mac, but also works on Unix). tkcon provides many more
features than the standard console and works on all platforms where
Tcl/Tk is available. 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 consoles, each with its own state (via multiple interpreters)
Captures stdout and stderr to console window (puts overridden)
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)
Hot Errors (click on error result to see stack trace)
Works on all Tk platforms
UPDATES FROM v2.2 (last official release):
* Better handling of spaces in pathname expansion
* Support for proxies in downloading latest version
* Corrected for use with latest 8.4 where tk privates are private
* Enhanced ^r/^s history searching
* Corrected attaching to namespace in a foreing interpreter
