Great concept, Bob.
Just watching your YouTube makes me wonder why we persist in using a tty
paradigm from the 1960s for conversational use of J – which we like to
think of as an advanced language. Perhaps we just like playing Mastermind
with ourselves when we play with J? It shows us how smart we are. :-P
It's no longer true that all this good stuff is too expensive to compute
for every line of input. Every line of operational code, maybe. But far
more than the basic "tty" paradigm comes for free with Mathematica – and
has done for the last 20 years. Where've we been all that time?
Actually you've beaten me to it. But I guess I will still complete my toy
"tty++", because I think it will help to have the session window
immediately display the missing information you correctly identify, without
the user needing to go asking for it.
I find myself using my "crex" utility so often I'd like my session manager
to routinely crex every phrase I enter. You might consider adding crex to
Jig, or something like it. Example:
z
This is a line of text.
This is another.
zz
This is a line of text.
This is another.
zzz
This is a line of text.
This is another.
crex z
'This is a line of text.',LF,'This is another.',LF
crex zz
3 23$'This is a line of text.This is another. '
crex zzz
3 25$'This is a line of text. This is another.
