Talking about different keyboard layouts:
why not take a programmable keyboard?
I have a couple of ergodoxes lying around here.
Making them behave the way I want them to,
switching back and forth between layers,
is fun and makes for more efficient typing.
On the software side, I actually do switch
layouts regularly. When I’m not at my own
machine, I introduce myself to the shell by
setxkbmap de neo
and switch back afterwards to whatever they
use to have.
Just the way /I/ am trying to liberate my
thounghts from hardware vendors’ prejudices
of what my fingers do or don’t like typing.

Concerning the Toggle Comment Ctl+/ and Toggle Note Ctl+Shift+/ features
With my French-Canadian keyboard driver, I can do Ctl+/ using
Ctl+Shift+3 since / is uppercase 3 on that kb.
But Toggle Note poses a problem. Some Russian and Serbian images likely
have a similar problem.
Is there a workaround besides switching to a US kb for all my work in J
(which is not tempting at all)?
I am NOT asking for a change.
Thanks for your reply.

I usually put a title for the comments in the quotes argument of Note.

Most of my comments went unnoticed (!) because I did not like commenting
each line.
Ctrl+Shift+/, that it is.
Thnx!

Subject: Re: [Jprogramming] Multiline comments WAS: break from loading a
script with 'load'
I like the proposed: NB.(
Would it be closed with: )
Apart from more consistent "naming", what are the other benefits of
multiline comments as a feature that currently aren't provided by
{{)n or 0
: 0?
Currently I use Note, a variation on 0 : 0 from the stdlib (
https://code.jsoftware.com/wiki/Standard_Library/stdlib#Note) as
mentioned in the other thread by Chris Note ''
this line is a comment
so is this one
)
There is shortcut support for this in the JQt editor (Toggle using
Ctrl+Shift+/)
The J extension for VSCode will also highlight these sections as
comments
(Alt+Shift+a to set as Note)

The comment delimiter will always be NB. and comments will always run
to the end of the line.
Multiline comments would be useful. So far we use 0 : 0 or {{)n to
get that effect. Having NB.( or the like to start a multiline comment
would be useful. We can keep this topic open.

So this is open for silly ideas?
Multiline comments ought to be nestable.
Personally, I like the way lua does it.
Both multiline strings and comments work like this:
[[
an example string
spanning two lines
]]
[=[
… and
another one
]=]
[====[
as many = signs as you want,
so [[nesting]] is done by increasing = count ]====]
-- a single line comment
--[[
an example comment
spanning two lines
]]
--[=[
… and
another one
]=]
--[====[
which may be --[[nested]]
the same way;
]====]
Maybe using {={ … }=} etc?
It doesn’t need to be = but I like that way
of making comments nestable.

Dear list,
if I load a (longer) script, I sometimes want to ignore a part of it
beyond a certain line. Is there a way to achieve that gracefully? (I
sometimes just add something syntactically wrong to stop there,
on an
error).
Thank you.
