i would actually prefer freer movement twixt editor and term in both JQT and Ric's VSCode interface
J differs in that most action is within a single line getting that line right le plus facile is important one can cut/paste while shuttling back/forth, now... but this is cumbersome Proposal: make execution optional allow ctrl-E/R to just move (either way, to editor and term) personally my editor distills snippets and completions while the terminal is the cauldron in which i mix/match to run/source those snippets ~greg https//picsrp.github.io -- from: Ian Clark <[email protected]> to: General forum <[email protected]> date: Apr 26, 2021, 2:16 AM subject: Re: [Jgeneral] How to clear the current line in the Windows Jconsole? >Pardon my crazy solution, but it works for me (with jconsole on ?Terminal), >and is worth doing if you find yourself needing to clear the command line a >lot.

Ric Forewarned is forearmed:) even a "feature"!-) Either ctrl-e or ctrl-r plunk the code at the terminals cursor before execution ctrl-r plunks the whole line including leading/trailing blanks no line-feeds etc BTW thanks for the contribution! ~greg https//picsrp.github.io ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
