Add support for commas in subscripts

[balrobs]

While trying out this great software, I came across an important limitation for me .... I was unable to use commas in subscripts for variables.

I am convinced that this would greatly improve the readability of documents.

Best wishes and congratulations for the great work

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, this usage of commas is not possible since commas in subscripts are used to index vectors and matrices as shown below (or in this sheet):

Thanks for the clarification,
it's a pity that the software can't distinguish between a variable subscript and a matrix index.
Would it then be possible as a workaround to allow some other similar alphanumerical character instead of the comma to somehow separate texts in variables subscripts? Maybe a semicolon or a blank space ... I noticed that even greek letters throw errors in variables subscripts.
Cheers

Yes, the lack of support for Greek characters in subscripts is a known issue (#246) and will be addressed at some point.

Unfortunately, supporting symbols in variable names (in the main variable or subscript) is not possible since the variable names need to map one-to-one to Python variable names and Python only allows underscores in variable names. Underscores are not easily supported since the underscore character is the keyboard shortcut to create a subscript.

Eventually, I plan to add support international characters in variable names, as Python allows, but this may take a while to implement.

That would be great!! "Good things take time"

Here I could imagine the following solution to be able to use the underscore character in the variables: change the keyboard shortcut to create subscripts from underscore to dot?
