large volume of J documentation is not optimally organized for easily finding

If in reference to 'exit' you are referring to J going of to never never

That seems a curious thing to say, given the alleged advantages of the brevity
of J as contrasted with the prolixity of most conventional programming
languages.

Another solution is to enhance the experience of jconsole. I get a
blank screen that is ready for input when I start it up.
if the repl had a bit of introductory language and a built-in help

Something like:

And just how is one supposed to discover the existence of “exit"?
There’s a broader issue here: on the one hand, the disjointedness of the
standard J documentation into General Info, Release Highlights, Vocabulary,
User, Primer, etc.; and on the other hand, the lack of a search across the

I would be a huge fan of having standard library documentation.
I agree that documentation would probably be longer than the code itself,
but the time needed to read it would not.
Size is not so much an issue anymore with the terabyte disks we have

Thanks for taking the trouble to post your suggestion regarding LJ.
I will give the matter some thought.

There is so much in the z locale that's not documented. The trouble is that
the documentation would be many times the size of the definitions. Many one
liners would require a paragraph or more to explain for a newbe. What to
do? NuVoc is great. Maybe we can do that for z and other locals sometime i
His point is that he cannot find reference to this in the documentation.

This is a good point and it's been brought up before. I define
q=: 2!:55
and enter
q''
to exit J but it's not standard. We should probably make "exit" more
accessible.

Greetings,
Just providing some feedback
The fist thing I wanted to know when I started J was how to exit. I did
some research and discovered 2!:55. I then defined a verb and used that to
exit. Therefore, in order to get a clean way to exit a new language, I had
to learn what a verb is, wha

Have you used either Find or Find in Files… under the Edit menu? If you want to
use wild cards such as * this becomes a little more difficult since they could
be a valid part of the string.
Hope this helps.

a few quick notes on https://github.com/zellio/j-mode
The new version of j-mode is still under fairly rapid development. It is
largely
stable and functional albeit poorly documented. If you are planning on
using it
I would suggest checking for updates early and often at least for the next
month

Zach's version is new as of about two weeks ago:

I and at least a couple of other people use emacs. I'm currently trying

One way to solve the change mode issue to access help is to already be in a
browser and you can do that by running JHS 701 (which itself runs in a
browser). Demo 9 (I think) within JHS shows a multiwindow display that might be

That's all I got :)

Whether there is a way to find definition of some symbol without switching

example:

and it will print short description (may be with short examples).
