Activating Command Line
displays the Tcl/Tk command line at the bottom of the console. You
can type commands which contain Tcl
handles and a popup Intellisense window is shown above the command
line. Once you select an API in popup mode, the Intellisense window
is dismissed.Note: In a future release, the Intellisense popup window will display the command names within the console, relative to the location of the last line of text in the window.

Variables are supported. When a valid handle is set to a variable, typing that variable name preceded by a dollar sign, $, invokes the Intellisense popup for that handle.
The more specific you are with the text you enter, the fewer choices are displayed, as shown in the two examples below.
