q console has so many bracket, gradually grow from one to many

I am using windows 10 and kdb 3.6, at first, the q console has only one bracket, but as I practice on it, gradually it grows many duplicated ones. It works fine but looks annoying. How can I get rid of those?

Thomas has already explained how you're entering the debugger due to errors occurring inside of functions, and that entering \ will exit the current 'layer' you're in. I just wanted to add that if you enter \ while not in the debugger (i.e. your current prompt is q)), then your prompt will become (two blank spaces), and the interpreter will begin evaluating k instead of q. While in the k interpreter, you can enter \ to switch back to the q interpreter.

You are seeing the additional brackets due to errors that occur inside functions/lambdas. When an error occurs you are entered into the q debugger. To remove the brackets and exit the debugger type \ in your terminal and hit enter.

You can read more about the q debugger here.
