Haven't looked at Tk lately, have you? It's closer to what you want, and it's easy to add the rest under tk4.X. Even under Tk 3.6, I wrote a module that did all that, plus unlimited undo and a few other nice things, invokable with a single line that would bind to all text widgets (and entry widgets with a second line), specific text widgets, or could be put into the tcl library to work with ALL text widgets. It's customizability like that that I like. Imagine adding one line to the library and adding spell checking to all text widgets using Tk. Oh, and the library I'm referring to isn't the shared library in C, it's the Tk shared routines written in TCL. There wasn't any interest in it, odly enough, so I haven't bothered to recreate it since I lost it.
