Very nice, Henry. May I offer some suggestions to gild the lily? Sorry if there's too much detail here. It's meant to clarify my meaning, rather than try to tell you what you'll know even better than I do.
I'm running on a Macintosh, so what I say may not be quite the behavior under Windows, but here goes... This is a very "shy" facility, and IMO it will be easily overlooked by a casual user. I had to read the code in ~system/extras/util/jijs.ijs to find out how to make the said menu item appear. I was only able to do so by inserting the line: load 'debug/lint' in my startup.ijs. It didn't work to enter the above line in the session window. Even then, I could only see the new menu item: Run > Window and Syntax Check (Ctrl+1) when a script was opened in an IJS window and the window was uppermost (=selected). AFAICS the script jijs.ijs sets a flag "nolint" by detecting the presence of the verb: lint_lint_ . I suggest instead setting "nolint" by detecting the presence of the script: ~addons/debug/lint/lint.ijs . If the script is present, configure the Run menu to show "Window and Syntax Check" all the time, but grayed out unless an IJS window is open and selected. ...In fact, more like the behavior of menu item "editlint": Edit > Format Script ⌘L If the menu item: Run > Window and Syntax Check is selected, only then load lint.ijs, so the _lint_ locale is only present if required. I guess this can be done by having the verb: "runlint" execute: require 'debug/lint' just before the "runimmx1" sentence. ...Again, much as is done in verb: "lint" -the prettyprinter which runs when "editlint" is selected. And BTW the "runlint" entry in noun: JIJSMAC needs to be: menu runlint "Window and Syntax &Check" "Ctrl+1" "" ""; instead of: menu runlint "Window and Syntax &Check (Ctrl+1)" "" "" ""; This then shows correctly in the Run menu on the Mac as: Window and Syntax Check ⌘1 and the shortcut ⌘1 (=Maccy name for hotkey) then works okay (at least it does for me).
