blt::beep(3tcl)

💖 blt::beep — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the blt::beep page from the BLT Built-In Commands manual, section 3tcl. yes it's short. no that does not mean we're skipping anything. every crumb of this page is coming with us. 🍓

✨ NAME ✨

beep — ring the bell. that's it. that's the whole job. 🔔

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

beep ?percent?

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so the beep command rings the keyboard bell. iconic behaviour, no notes. 🔔✨

percent is relative to the base volume of the keyboard bell, and it can range from -100 to 100 inclusive. so like, both ends are allowed, don't be shy.

if percent is nonnegative then the bell volume is:

base - [(base * percent) / 100] + percent

if percent is negative then the bell volume is:

base + [(base * percent) / 100]

and the default percent is 50. periodt. 💅

ngl the math is doing the most but the vibes are immaculate. the way that negative percent just flips the sign in front of the brackets… she ate. 🫶

✨ EXAMPLE ✨

✨ KEYWORDS ✨
