NAME

Tk::More - a 'more' or 'less' like text widget

SYNOPSIS

    use Tk::More;

    $more = $parent->More(...text widget options ...);
    $more->Load(FILENAME);

DESCRIPTION

Tk::More is a readonly text widget with additional key bindings as found in UNI* command line tools "more" or "less". As in "more" an additional status/command line is added at the bottom.

ADDITIONAL BINDINGS

Key-G or End

goto end of file

Key-b or Prior

Key-k or Up

Key-j or Down

OPTIONS

Name: fixedFont

Class: FixedFont

Switch: -font

Set the font of the viewer widget. This is by default a fixed font.

Name: searchCase

Class: SearchCase

Switch: -searchcase

Set if searching should be done case-insensitive. Defaults to true.

Switch: -helpcommand

Sets the command for the ``h'' (help) key.

METHODS

Load($file, %args)

Load $file into the widget. %args may be one of the following

-encoding => $encoding

Assume the encoding of the file to be $encoding. If none is given, then assume no encoding (which is equivalent to iso-8859-1).

AddQuitBindings

Convenience method to add the bindinds Key-q and Control-Key-q to close the Toplevel window containing this More widget.

BUGS

Besides that most of more bindings are not implemented. This bugs me most (high to low priority):

* better status line implementation

* Cursor movement: up/down move displayed area regardless where
  insert cursor is

* add History, Load, Search (also as popup menu)
