hi all,

How can I achieve auto-completion of key words and directories by typing TAB (or something else) in TCL shell , tclsh.

Answer 1

You need to find a copy of tclreadline, or switch to using tkcon (a graphical terminal written in Tcl that acts as a console) if using a GUI app is acceptable at all. FWIW, I can definitely recommend tkcon; the only reason I don't use it that much is because I'm often working with a custom build of Tcl that's hooked up to other things.
