Hello all,
I've just tryed slime, after years of ILisp use, and I feel great! Slime is definitely a step ahead of ILisp.
However, there some features I was used to in ILisp, and that I miss in slime. Maybe some of them are configurable, maybe others are not. Here goes my list:
- there are a list of key bindings that can be seen after a C-h m in a Lisp Slime mode, which do not work (e.g., C-c C-a, C-c C-c, etc.) Some of them have different key bindings in Slime, while others follow a distinct functional scheme (e.g., showing arguments as you type, which works fine in slime).
- in Lisp Slime mode a RET does not auto-indent the next line. It'd be useful to have auto-identation, so that we could save a TAB everytime we write a new line of LISP.
See my recent post for code which will not only auto-indent, but also show you the argument list of the current function, similar to when you press space.
- in the REPL loop M-p is not quite pratical; couldn't you use for instance C-up for last expression entered (similar to ILisp)?
This can be rebound easily, but personally I rather like M-p. I don't use the arrow keys much.
