summary	Algorithmic Design is an approach that uses algorithms to generate designs. These algorithms are built using either a Visual Programming Language (VPL) or a Textual Programming Language (TPL). In architecture, there is a clear propensity to the use of VPLs, e.g., Grasshopper or Dynamo, over the use of TPLs, e.g., Python or AutoLisp. In addition to all the user-friendly and interactive features that make VPLs more appealing to architects, most of them already integrate components for textual programming. In contrast, TPLs have not been as successful in incorporating visual features. Given the user-friendliness of VPLs and the relevance of TPLs for large-scale and complex designs, we discuss Visual Input Mechanisms (VIMs) in the context of TPLs. In this paper, we extend previous research in this area by exploring and implementing the most valuable VIMs in a TPL adapted for architectural design.

summary	Algorithmic Design (AD) is no longer foreign to architecture and its methodology embraces one of the most recent technological revolutions in the field. This approach lays on Programming Languages (PLs) to define rules and constraints within an algorithm that, in return, generates geometry in modeling and analysis tools. PLs can either be visual (VPLs) or textual (TPLs). In architecture, there is a clear propensity to the use of VPLs over TPLs, due to all the visual features and mechanisms they provide that make programming more intuitive for architects. Nevertheless, and even though TPLs are less appealing to learn and use, they offer clear advantages when dealing with complex programs. Therefore, in order to bring TPLs closer to their users, we discuss, explore, and implement Visual Input Mechanisms (VIMs) in Khepri, a new textual programming tool for architecture.
