Hello,
Sorry if this list is not the best place to ask this question... Maybe we should create a newbie lisp list!
What is the easy way to copy/paste a form from a source code buffer to slime prompt? Is there any keyboard shortcut emacs/slime-mode to copy the whole body of a form from anywhere within it??
Cheers,

I don't think this is a good place for the question; there's a list for slime questions, and lots of places to ask emacs questions.

One way is:
C-M-a - beginning-of-defun C-M-SPC - mark-sexp M-w - kill-ring-save
Then you can can switch to the repl and C-y it.
There might be a shortcut to do all of that in one step, but I don't know about it.
If you just want to send a form to your Lisp, you can do that without involving the repl, C-M-x or C-c C-c will do the trick.

My favorite way is:
1. Put the cursor before the s-expression
2. Invoke C-M-k (kill-sexp)
3. Immediately C-y (yank) to put the s-expression back in its place, OR If I'm copying from an "untouched" source buffer, I'll use C-x u (undo) instead, to keep the buffer in its "untouched" state.
4. Paste to wherever you need this s-expression. Remember that if you subsequently copy something else in the kill ring, you can access older entries conveniently by first doing C-y (yank) and then immediately doing M-y (yank-pop). This is very useful.
Hope this helps!
