Alpha is a text editor, just as powerful and configurable as [Emacs], but having Tcl as extension language instead of [lisp]! 90 percent of Alpha's functionality is written in Tcl, so it is very easy to tweak it and extend it. The AlphaTcl library http://alphatcl.sf.net) is nearly 20000 lines of Tcl code, full of gems and useful tricks. | What:| Alpha| | Where:| http://www.maths.mq.edu.au/~steffen/Alpha/AlphaX/<<br>>http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net<<br>>http://sourceforge.net/projects/alphatcl| | Description:| Alpha is a Macintosh shareware Tcl programmable editor.AlphaX requires [MacOS X] 10.2.| | Updated:| 04/2005||Contact:| http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/alphatcl-users| ---- See also [AlphaTk], [Vince Darley]'s reimplementation in [Tk] --- it runs in [unix] and [windows] too! ---- Joackim Kock: "Alpha's [Tcl] mode is really nice with [syntax] colouring, automatic indentation, [comment] handling, keyword and variable completion, templates insertion, many navigation features (e.g. Cmd-double-click on a proc name and be taken to the place where that proc is defined), and seamless integration with the built-in Tcl interpreter (or an external one if you prefer). . . . Alpha would benefit from getting new Tcl-competent users. The development of Alpha seems to have stagnated a little bit, but each time there is some feedback and suggestions, there is a burst in development activity..." <<categories>>Application|Mac
