- Alpha is customizable in many ways, including:
-
- • Any Tcl phrase can be bound to any keystroke.
-
- • Many of Alpha's functions are implemented in Tcl (Ousterhout's Tool
- Command Language). All of these functions can be changed at will.
-
- • :userStartup.tcl is now loaded at startup, after everything has been
- completed. However, much of Alpha's tcl code is dynamically loaded when
- it is referenced, along w/ definitions that are needed by the
- application. Therefore, if you redefine 'setCMode' in userStartup.tcl,
- for instance, you must be sure to load the file containing the original
- version of 'setCMode' before you redefine it. In this case, you would
- just include the following line at the top of your 'userStartup.tcl'
- file:
-
- source ":Tcl:SystemCode:c.tcl"
-
- • All of Alpha's menus except the first three are created from Tcl.
-
- • Alpha's "modes"s are almost entirely written in Tcl code.
