Tk::HistEntry Module Tk::HistEntry implements an entry widget with history. You may use the up and down keys to select older entries (or use the associated listbox). Usage: $top->HistEntry(-textvariable => \$foo, -command => sub { # automatically adds $foo to history print STDERR "Do something with $foo\n"; })->pack; The widget comes in two flavors: the "HistEntry" widget is an inherited BrowseEntry widget where you see history in the associated listbox, too. The "SimpleHistEntry" widget is a plain Entry widget.
