TCL(Tool Command Language) Scripting :: can we use shell-like short key in tcl shell


	can we use shell-like short key in tcl shell in nominal shell, we can use the command line short key such as CTRL +P (previous command) CTRL+H (backspace) CTRL+ K (delete all the the end) CTRL + A (go to the begning of the command line. In tclsh/tcl, when I debug a few lines of scripts, I find it is very unconvenient withou this kind of short key. so my question is straigthforward, Is this a bug or feature? Can this kind of thing done in tclshl? If NOT, is there any work around tips ? any suggestions?

You could try using 'rlwrap'. I start my tclsh as %rlwrap tclsh and then all the arrow keys CTRL +A etc seem to do the right thing.

If you have X or other windowing system available, I recommend tkcon. Lots of convenience features. http://wiki.tcl.tk/Tkcon - Hide quoted text - BingYU wrote: > in nominal shell, we can use the command line short key such as CTRL > +P (previous command) CTRL+H (backspace) CTRL+ K (delete all the the > end) CTRL + A (go to the begning of the command line. > In tclsh/tcl, when I debug a few lines of scripts, I find it is very > unconvenient withou this kind of short key. so my question is > straigthforward, Is this a bug or feature?
