Hi,
tkInfo is a graphical browser for documentation in the GNU info
format. It requires Tcl7.4 and Tk4.0 or newer and runs on Unix/X,
MacOS and Windows. It's free under the BSD license. You can fetch
version 1.5 from
http://www.math.ucsb.edu/~boldt/tkinfo/
New in version 1.4:
- history mechanim
- full search through whole info file
- balloon help for buttons
- hitting space repeatedly walks through info file in logical order
- right-click brings up little menu with useful commands
- right-click on link opens a "redirect window"; future
right-clicks on a link send link's node text to that window.
New in version 1.5:
- backwards search
- can cycle through links with Tab like lynx
- "last" command remembers position and last selected link of last
info node.
- usage tips added
- Lengthy searches can be interrupted with Ctrl-G
- Previous inputs in search and goto entry box can be recalled with
Cursor-Up.
Best regards,
Axel Boldt
