Is it possible to change how slime (is slime controlling the ident process??) indents let forms?
The lisp-indent-function does the indentation and SLIME is not quite responsible for the indentation (or syntax highlighting). SLIME gives the indentation code some hints about macros with &body arguments, but only if there isn't already some other rule.
The idea is that SLIME does only the stuff which needs interaction with the external Lisp process.
I prefer a let to look like this:
(let (var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6) ...)
but its currently indented like this:
(let (var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6) ...)
Can I change this? Or is slime the wrong place to look?
If your lisp-indent-function is set to common-lisp-indent-function you could try something like:
(put 'let 'common-lisp-indent-function '(&lambda &body))
If you use another indent-function you may need other parameters. For very complicated syntax, like loop, you may also specify your own function like:
(put 'let 'common-lisp-indent-function 'my-indent-fun)
