Enhanced console for developing in Tcl/Tk

Not tested on a device yet. What that means

TkCon in Breadstick

Breadstick runs Debian's own tkcon package for ARM64, the build a Debian 13 computer with an ARM processor installs, so TkCon should look and behave as it does on a Linux PC. On Samsung DeX, Floating mode opens it as its own window beside your Android apps, and Desktop mode runs it on a full Linux desktop.

Compilers and interpreters run on the device's own ARM64 processor, while containers and virtual machines, which need a kernel of their own, cannot run. More about development tools in Breadstick.

About TkCon

From Debian's package description

TkCon is a Tcl shell and console, making it ideal for experimenting with Tcl and Tk programs interactively.

Features: Command history Path (Unix style) / Proc / Variable name expansion Multiple consoles, each with its own state (via multiple interpreters) Captures stdout and stderr to console window (puts overridden) Hot errors (click on error result to see stack trace) Electric character matching (a la emacs) Electric proc highlighting Communication between consoles and other Tk interpreters (including non-Tcl ones)

From Debian's description of the tkcon package, under that package's license.
