Other arguments separator

Issue #1013 wontfix
Former user created an issue

Can you add new arguments separator in function (in menu to choise), other than semicolon? For example: comma: myfun(a,b) space: myfun(a b).

    Comma is already used as a separator (decimal separator or digit group separator depending on configuration) and space is also already used as an operator (implicit multiplication and digit group separator). They will not be available as function argument separators.

    I do not see any valid use for function arguments separators other than those you gave, so I'm closing this ticket.

    One valid argument I could give is that ; (semicolon) is more tedious to type no some keyboards. For example on a Hungarian keyboard you would need to press right alt + ,, which is really more tedious than it should be to separate two function arguments.

    Some people, including me, only use . (dot) as a decimal separator. And if that setting is chosen then , (comma) is completely unused.

    So I would personally prefer this: If only . (dot) is selected as the decimal separator, then make , (comma) a valid function argument separator, and vice versa if only , (comma) is selected. Or at least add an option for that.
