1. In what locale is the text executed in modes 0 & 1?
2. If it is not executed in the user context, can I use the immex trick
to cause a sentence to execute in the user's context? The question here
is really what the relationship of the IDE to the engine is - does the
IDE just feed sentences to the engine, with the text being another such
sentence?
I am thinking that to execute a sentence in user context I would have:
Case 1 (if the sentence runs in a fixed locale like jijs):
F5;1;Dissect Current;rundissect_jijs_ 0
and
dissect_jijs_ =: 3 : 0
get text of line under cursor;
set immex to the line;
)
Case 2 (if the sentence runs in user context including suspension etc)
F5;1;Dissect Current;dissect get_cursor_line ''

Agreed on the modes, thanks.
Yes, the next beta will have get/set of text, selection, and position for
the term/edit/edit2 windows.

Thank you Chris,
perhaps there is a reason to keep the existing mode 2 behaviour, which is
to append to the bottom of the "document".
mode 3 - append at cursor position
mode 4 - append at end of current line.
Is there also a way to get/set the contents of the current window
(term/editor)?
thank you.

Thanks for the suggestions.
1. Agreed that mode 2 should append to the current line, not the following
line, and that it should be to the current window (term or edit).
2. I like the other suggestions, but wonder if the following might work
better:
* mode 3 is like mode 2, except insert into the current line at the
current cursor position
* when a user key is pressed, the current window text and current window
selection (cursor position if no selection) are first written to globals in
the jqtide locale. This means that any expression run in modes 0 or 1 can
use them as parameters, and I think this captures the intent of the 2nd
mode digit.
3. The next J803 beta has commands to query the text and select state of
the term or edit windows.

defining this in userkeys.cfg

where the token chosen is actually 28 { a.
there's 2 problems:
1. instead of inserting into the current terminal (jqt repl) line, it
creates and inserts on the following line. If this is intended, perhaps
there could be a mode 3, that inserts at current cursor position?
2. In the editor, pressing the shortcut also inserts to terminal instead
of in editor. Even if selected through menu option.
A request would be to have mode use an optional 2nd digit to pass
parameters:
0 - same as elided, no parameter
1 - selection (with say line feeds inserted if multi lines)
2 - whole line as y parameter to monad
3 - left of cursor as x, right of cursor as y
'' would be substituted for no data at left or right or in line or
selection.
Perhaps there already is, or could be, a way to query the line and cursor
position in both editor and jqt terminal?
These 2 modes aren't important enough. They would allow returning a
verb,
but its hard to imagine an application.
4 - left of cursor as m to adverb
5 - whole line as m to adverb.
