slebetman: I've been using the console editor form Linux Console Text Editor In Pure TCL a lot and have modified it to suit my needs. The first thing I did was to add syntax hilighting mainly because I wanted to easily distinguish lines that I have commented out at a glance. Later I added other features and changed a lot of the underlaying engine. Rather than backport my changes to the original code I decided to post my code here and leave the original code alone.
Features:
Usage: The "^" character below denotes pressing the Ctrl key
Basically the usual navigation keys behaves as expected
Code:
The code is quite messy. A lot of the procs here are not functions but merely act like macros which are upleveled and evaluated in the caller's context. I simply moved them to procs to make it easier for me to see the program logic. The syntax hilighting rules are also hardcoded into the code but is easy enough to modify.
The control character and escape sequence handling have been re-written to be more general and to report unhandled cases. This is to make it easier to add new features to the code. For example, if you want to implement a feature and bind it to ^k just run the editor and press ^k. It will tell you "Unhandled control character:0xb" so that you know you should add the code as a \u000b case in handleControls. The same goes for escape sequences. For example, pressing F12 will generate the message "Unhandled sequence:[24~"
slebetman 21 June 2006: An updated version with improved tab handling. Added some more key bindings to support xterm, rxvt and Hyperterminal (yes, I really did test it on Hyperterminal). I also back-ported SRIV's unique long-line editing method to this code which simplified my rendering engine.
slebetman 22 June 2006: Another update. Improved rendering & scrolling speed by removing a few uplevels (upleveled code is really slow). Added "End" key binding for KDE Konsole. Improved search to not change the current view if not necessary.
slebetman 23 June 2006: Lots of updates. Moved blocks of code around to make it more readable (for me at least). Implemented undo and redo. Solved terminal hanging problem (by implementing my own output buffering for handleRedraw).

set syntaxRules {
# The syntax rules is in the form:
# {regexp} {formatting}
# Each rule must be on a single line. Comments in here are ignored.
# Syntax hilighting is line based so we can't have multi-line rules
# like C-style comments.
#
# If more than one rule applies to piece of text then the most
# encompassing rule wins. For example for the text:
# "$example"
# both the script variable (due to $) and the string rules (".*?")
# apply. However since the string rule encompasses the script
# variable rule then the string rule wins and the text is colored
# according to the string rule.
#
# But within each rule toe opposite is true. If the regexp matches
# a piece of text multiple times then the most specific match wins.
# For example for the Tcl variable regexp:
# {(?:set|append|incr) ([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)}
# the text:
# set x
# matches twice. Once for "set x" and another time for "x". Since
# "x" is more specific then only it will be colored by the rule.
# This overcomes Tcl's lack of look-behind in its regexp engine.
#
# Formatting is defined by ANSI escape sequence. For example bright
# green is {1;32}. The arrays fg, bg and style above makes it more
# convenient to define the formatting. Using the previous example
# bright green may be written as {$style(bright);$fg(green)}.
# Strings & numbers:
{".*?"} {$fg(magenta)}
{[0-9]+} {$fg(magenta)}
# File magics:
{^#!.*$} {$style(bright);$fg(green);$bg(blue)}
{^package\s+.*$} {$style(bright);$fg(green);$bg(blue)}
# Script comments/C preprocessing
{(?:^|;)\s*#.*$} {$fg(green)}
# Script style variables:
{(?i)\$[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*} {$style(bright);$fg(cyan)}
{(?i)[\@\%][a-z_][a-z0-9_]*} {$style(bright);$fg(yellow)}
# Tcl variable names after a command:
{(?:set|append|incr) ([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_]*)} {$fg(cyan)}
{(?:global) ([a-zA-Z_][a-zA-Z0-9_ ]*)} {$fg(cyan)}
# Email address:
{(?i)(?:[a-z0-9-]+\.)*[a-z0-9-]+\@(?:[a-z0-9-]+\.)*[a-z0-9-]+} {$style(bright)}

SRIV I really like the addition of color. The one issue I found was that the editor consumes 100% cpu while waiting for a keystoke. Easily noticable for me since I'm on a notebook.
slebetman Yeah, this implementation uses busy polling the non-blocking stdin. In lieu of Tk's event loop this was the quickest hack I could think of to get the auto-resizing and fast-pasting to work. Of course we can reduce CPU consumption by using after and vwait. In fact, something like after 100 is responsive and fast enough for a human to not notice yet will reduce CPU consumption by more than 85% (depending on your CPU MHz of course).
slebetman I've added a couple of after 50 in the input loops which should limit the polling rate down to 20Hz max. This is still an ugly hack but on my machine it brought down CPU usage from 75%-99.9% to 0.2%-5%.
SRIV Great job! I think I'll start using your version now. I like it a lot!
