Hello,
I have what seems like a simple question that neither the docs nor the web have answered: my mode line seems to have some sort of error reporting feature, where the mode indicator reads Slime[package, ccl{1}], with this number in curly braces representing how many errors of some sort I've racked up.
It doesn't represent the number of errors. It does show number of uncompleted asynchronous requests.
Aha, I was confused, thanks for this.
I can't for the life of me figure out what these errors are, where I can see further details, and how I can get that number to go away. More irritatingly, when I'm editing Lisp source, Slime has taken to flashing the {1} for an instant every time I type characters into the buffer. It appears for an instant, then disappears immediately. Presumably I've got a non-fatal misconfiguration somewhere that I don't know about, but this is very distracting. Can someone point out what's going on here? I'm using emacs CVS on Mac OS X (PPC), ccl version 1.4-dev-r12553-trunk and the last change in my slime CVS changelog is from 2009-08-04.
Every time you type a character, slime communicates with lisp to request some information, for example, arglists.
Is there a way to shut it off? I don't really need this information and half of my mode line leaping left and right as I type is very distracting...
Thanks! Eric
