This is the full tkcon script when run inside the plugin. It
feels like a stripped down version of tkcon, but the only
limitations are those established by the plugin. You can test the
basic console features and get a feel for the mutli-color output.
Below the demo are some ideas to try out. v2+ of the plugin is
distributed with a megawidget version of tkcon for debugging
tclets. The demo below uses the CVS head of tkcon.
Variable / Path / Procedure Name Expansion. Type in
set tc at the prompt. Hit
<Control-Shift-V>. set tcl_ should now be
visible. Hit <Control-Shift-V> again. You should see
the rest of the completions printed out for you. Works the same for
procedures and files paths (file access restricted from plugin).
Works properly when spaces or other funny characters are including
in the name.
Command Highlighting. Note that set should
be in green, denoting it is a recognized command in that
interpreter.
Electric Character Matching. Watch while you type the
following: proc foo { a b } { puts [list $a $b] }. Did
you notice the blink matching of the braces? Yes, it's smart.
Command History. Use the Up/Down arrows or
<Control-p>/<Control-n> to peruse the
command history. <Control-r>/<Control-s>
Actually does command history matching (like tcsh or other advanced
Unix shells).
Useful Colorization. Having defined foo
above, type in foo hey. Note that the error comes back
in red. Go up one in the command history and add you
and see that regular stdout output comes through in blue (the
colors are configurable).
Cut/Copy/Paste. You should be able to do that between
outside windows and TkCon. The default keys are
<Control-x>/<Control-c>/<Control-v>.
