| 43 | This is the full tkcon script when run inside the plugin. It feels like a |
|---|
| 44 | stripped down version of tkcon, but the only limitations are those |
|---|
| 45 | established by the plugin. You can test the basic console features and get |
|---|
| 46 | a feel for the mutli-color output. Below the demo are some ideas to try |
|---|
| 47 | out. v2 of the plugin is distributed with a megawidget version of tkcon for |
|---|
| 48 | debugging tclets. The demo below uses rev 1.28 of tkcon in CVS |
|---|
| 49 | (this correlates to v2.1 of tkcon). |

|---|
| 53 | </P> |
|---|
| 54 | |
|---|
| 55 | Have a look at some of the features: (culled from the |
|---|
| 56 | <A HREF="./">tkcon documentation</A>) |
|---|
| 57 | <UL> |
|---|
| 58 | <LI> <B>Variable / Path / Procedure Name Expansion.</B> Type in |
|---|
| 59 | <CODE>set tc</CODE> at the prompt. Hit <I><Control-Shift-V></I>. |
|---|
| 60 | <CODE>set tcl_</CODE> should now be visible. |
|---|
| 61 | Hit <I><Control-Shift-V></I> again. You should see the rest of |
|---|
| 62 | the completions printed out for you. Works the same for procedures |
|---|
| 63 | and files paths (file access restricted from plugin). Works properly |
|---|
| 64 | when spaces or other funny characters are including in the name. |
|---|
| 65 | |
|---|
| 66 | <LI> <B>Command Highlighting.</B> Note that <CODE>set</CODE> should be in |
|---|
| 67 | green, denoting it is a recognized command in that interpreter. |
|---|
| 68 | |
|---|
| 69 | <LI> <B>Electric Character Matching.</B> Watch while you type the |
|---|
| 70 | following: <CODE>proc foo { a b } { puts [list $a $b] }</CODE>. Did you |
|---|
| 71 | notice the blink matching of the braces? Yes, it's smart. |
|---|
| 72 | |
|---|
| 73 | <LI> <B>Command History.</B> Use the Up/Down arrows or |
|---|
| 74 | <I><Control-p></I>/<I><Control-n></I> to peruse the command |
|---|
| 75 | history. <I><Control-r></I>/<I><Control-s></I> Actually |
|---|
| 76 | does command history matching (like tcsh or other advanced Unix shells). |
|---|
| 77 | |
|---|
| 78 | <LI> <B>Useful Colorization.</B> Having defined <CODE>foo</CODE> above, type |
|---|
| 79 | in <CODE>foo hey</CODE>. Note that the error comes back in red. Go up one |
|---|
| 80 | in the command history and add <CODE> you</CODE> and see that regular |
|---|
| 81 | stdout output comes through in blue (the colors are configurable). |
|---|
| 82 | |
|---|
| 83 | <LI> <B>Cut/Copy/Paste.</B> You should be able to do that between outside |
|---|
| 84 | windows and TkCon. The default keys are |
|---|
| 85 | <I><Control-x></I>/<I><Control-c></I>/<I><Control-v></I>. |
