Visual cd
if 0 {Richard Suchenwirth 2006-02-21 - Here's another Sepp componentlet - an overloaded cd that keeps a most-recently-used stack of the directories visited so far. For added convenience, a menu displaying this LRU stack is added to the console so you can view it, and change to a directory by selecting it from the menu, rather than typing its name (convenient when stylus-taping on a small screen).
The script has been tested stand-alone on Win XP, but is of course intended by me for use with eTcl :-) See also Extending the eTcl console. }
package require Tk
#-- Initialization of the directory stack
proc visual'cd'init {} {
console eval {
if ![winfo exists .menubar.cd] {
.menubar insert 4 cascade -menu [menu .menubar.cd -tearoff 0] \
-label cd
proc dirsel'update {m dirs} {
$m delete 0 end
foreach dir $dirs {
$m add command -label $dir -command "cd {$dir}; puts {$dir}"
}
}
}
}
rename cd tcl::cd
#-- Overloaded version

global dirstack
if {$dir eq ""} {set dir [file normalize ~]}
if {$dir eq "-"} {cd [lindex $dirstack end-1]; puts [pwd]; return}
