Issue
Can get the command history by using cursor key (like up arrow key) in TCL shell (tclsh).
I am running tclsh on fedora with linux version 2.6.21.
Solution
You want access to the readline library, you can do that with rlwrap:
$ rlwrap tclsh
Useful options are -c
for file name completion, and -f
to add words from a file to the completion list:
$ rlwrap -cf my_complete_file tclsh
Since you almost always want to use rlwrap
, adding a shell alias is useful:
alias tclsh='rlwrap tclsh'
