IPEnv stands for
Integrated Programming Environment.
IPEnv is a versatile IDE, offering all the programming tools you’ll need, in one.
Features edit
It combines a versatile
file manager, a multi-format
file viewer including PDF, HTML, archive files and images, a multilingual
code editor for Tcl. C/C++, HTML and javascript, and a multi-threaded, interactive, system-integrated
console. You can execute Tcl/Tk commands as well as shell commands and source Tcl/Tk scripts. The shell commands are executed in a separate thread, so you can keep full control over the processes and the interface. Shell commands such as
grep, are hyperlinked to get quick access to the code.
IPEnv has an versatile editor. It contains everything you desire from a modern editor: auto-completion, multiple-file search, easy-to-remember shortcuts etc.
IPEnv has several
built-in tools and graphical interfaces to programming tools such as
cvs,
winmerge,
nmake and (gnu)
make.
Advantages to Tcl/Tk Programmers edit
- The console is a multi-threaded shell, in which you can execute Tcl/Tk commands and shell commands indiscriminately;
- All command line executions, including Tcl scripts, can be interrupted;
- An exit command in a Tcl script will not shut down the application, but will only stop the current script;
- You can redirect Tcl-script output to a file is the same way as you would do it in bash;
- A Tcl script can be run in the background, simply by adding an ampersand at the end of the command;
- Get quick info about procedure definitions and commands by clicking the right mouse button on the identifier;
- If you right-click on an option value that is recognized as a color, or if a token begins with a hashtag, the color will be displayed in a balloon. Click the in balloon to change the color;
- Add your own Tcl/Tk scripts to the interface as plugins;
Some Simple Shortcuts edit
IPEnv has a wide range of useful shortcuts and utilities that are not available in other editors and IDEs. For example:
- Immediately read how many characters, words or lines you have selected;
- Select text strings, comment blocks, array elements, function arguments, sections, HTML elements and tags etc. using the same shortcut (Ctrl-B);
- Jump to the beginning or the end of a function definition, file, or section with one mouseclick;
- In C/C++, if you right-click on a variable that is declared as a structure, you will not only see its declaration, but also the definition of the structure. There is no need to define a project first;
- Convert an image file to another format simple by changing its extension (e.g. from .gif to .png);
- Add your own help files (HTML or pdf) to the Help menu;
- Analyze animated gif, image by image, in the viewer;
- and many other utilities.
