tkoutline "is a single pane, cross-platform outline editor written in Tcl/Tk." This free program was written by Brian Theado. I used to use it a lot. It was very close to what I wanted - but lacked movement by word, and word count. Finally, I emailed Theado, and he promptly sent me back a few lines to add to the preferences and startup files. I could now move the cursor by word and get a word count. I eventually drifted away from it, mainly because the combination of the tclkit and the program file I was using gave me a dotty-font look, sort of like Windows. It was ugly, and the rest of my Linux desktop was so pretty. Call it an aesthetic issue. Well, it turns out that I should have broken down and asked Theado how to fix that, too. I did, today, and it's not hard. For Linux machines, follow these instructions to get a surprisingly handy, quick, stable (and now good looking!) program that works for a lot of things. 1.
