Hi MON, Quoth MON KEY <monkey@sandpframing.com>:
Here is one possibility for achieving the functionality OP requested:
Your solution does considerbaly more than I need (including adding a buffer-local hook variable facility) so I've taken the bare essentials from your slime-description-view-source-file function and used it to craft a piece of advice which works perfectly well for my purposes (and doesn't affect other SLIME buffers): (defadvice slime-show-description (after local-key-bindings activate) "Key bindings active in *slime-descriprion* buffers only." (with-current-buffer (get-buffer (slime-buffer-name :description)) (local-set-key "v" (lambda () (interactive) (let (matched) (save-excursion (goto-char (point-min)) (and (search-forward-regexp "^[[:blank:]]*?Source file: \\(/.*\\)$" nil t) (setq matched (match-string 1)))) (and matched (file-exists-p matched) (view-file-other-window matched))))))) Many thanks for your time.
