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 tool more. As in more an additional status/command line is added at the bottom.

ADDITIONAL BINDINGS

Key-G

goto end of file

Key-f

like next key

Key-b

like prior key

Key-k

like up key

Key-j

like down key

Key-/

search forward

Key-n

Key-N

find previous match

BUGS

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

* Reverse search missing

* better status line implementation

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

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

* Key-u and Key-d should move 1/2 screen and not 90% of a screen

* bad history impl.
