Description

Please provide an option to make it possible to turn off the ligature for ‘<=’, which has the meaning of both less than or equal to and non-blocking assignment in Verilog.

Since ‘<=’ has two functions in Verilog, the two options cv19 and cv20 are not applicable unless it is possible to dynamically switch to cv20 when the 'assign' keyword is detected in Verilog.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the existing cv19 and cv20 options and how the font handles the ‘<=’ ligature in Verilog. Done means providing a clear way to disable or contextually control that ligature without confusing less-than-or-equal use with non-blocking assignment.
