Morning. I wrote this quickly, it works for me, YMMV and its as simple as it needs to be, it mostly finds the start and end of the current verb definition. The j-mode I have has compile line compile region compile buffer
I offer 'jselverb' which I have bound to C-c C-v as that fits the pattern, it's unpolished and care free. ;; Selects the current verb for C-c C-r to digest (defun jselverb () (interactive) (re-search-backward ": 0$") (beginning-of-line) (set-mark-command nil) (re-search-forward "^)$")) (defun jeatverb () (interactive) (save-excursion (jselverb) (j-console-execute-region (region-beginning) (region-end)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-c C-v") 'jeatverb) To use it, just be in the verb, hit C-c C-v C-c C-r ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
