Visual Studio Code's APL Language Server Client keyboard

Postby OSRK on Fri Jun 14, 2024 5:11 pm

I'm trying to master backquote-prefixed input in Visual Studio Code with APL Language Server Client extension.

Glyphs which were previously entered as a Ctrl + Letter, could now be entered by pressing the backquote, and then a respective letter.

Glyphs which were previously entered as a Ctrl + Shift + a letter, could now entered by pressing the backquote, and then pressing Shift + a respective letter.

But glyphs that are not under letter characters, require additional confirmation by pressing Tab or Enter. And sometimes some more options are shown.

Is it how it is? Am I not missing any configuration?

P.S. I see that I could enter double-backquote and follow it by a part of a glyph name (any of them, if they are different for different contexts), this is a nice feature.

Hi OSRK,

Are you doing this on MS Windows?

Did you know that Dyalog's Unicode IME has an option to type APL characters with a prefix such as backtick `?

I have tried that with VS Code and it works for `a `1 `2 giving ⍺¨¯.

Does that help with what you want to achieve?

The "APL Language Server Client" in the Visual Studio Marketplace is an experimental extension by Gil. It is not stable and has not been updated for over 5 years.

Regards,

Vince
