Re: [slime-devel] How to erase input lines in REPL?

I'll stop spamming the list after this one, I promise.

+ Harald Hanche-Olsen hanche@math.ntnu.no:

| Many experienced lispers prefer an editing style in which parentheses | are always balanced. Insert a new pair with M-(, move up or down a | level with C-M-u or C-M-d, mark a whole subexpression with C-M-space, | etc.

When you do this in the repl buffer, you need to type C-j instead of return to insert newlines, since return sends the input if it looks complete. It takes a little while to get used to. I am considering rebinding the keys in the slime-repl buffer so plain return just inserts a newline. One can always use M-return to send the input.
