Language Bar

The Language Bar is an optional window which is initially docked to the Session Window, to make it easy to pick APL symbols without using the keyboard.

If you hover the mouse pointer over a symbol in the Language Bar, a pop-up tip is displayed to remind you of its usage. If you click on a symbol in the Language Bar, that symbol is inserted at the cursor in the current line in the Session.

If you click the right mouse button in the Language Bar, the context menu displays the following options:

Item Description
Insert Space Before Inserts a blank space before the current symbol (or blank)
Delete Deletes the current symbol (or blank)
Help Displays the (F1) help topic for the current symbol.
Use the Session font Displays the symbols using the current Session font (by default the symbols are displayed using a small font)
Revert to defaults Removes all user customisation and reverts to the standard Language Bar.
