With lots of code from Paul Foley, cmucl now has the necessary hooks to enable character completion with slime. The hooks are available in cvs now. The slime side is now also available in slime cvs. However, the code to do completion is fairly general and can be used on any version of cmucl that supports unicode. If you want to try it you can find the code (and some simple instructions) at http://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/downloads/experimental/char-completion.... This allows you to type, say, #\greek<tab> to show the possible unicode characters whose name begins with GREEK. While I don't do this very often, it does come in very handy when testing unicode when I can't remember the full unicode name and can't remember the codepoint, and don't want to figure out how to get emacs mule with the right input method to get the character I want. Thanks to Paul for supplying most of the necessary code to enable completion! Ray
