[...] When you are at the start of the repl there is a special character (by default #,) which begins a repl command.
If you haven't used it, allout.el has something similar for outline navigation -- when you're on a topic marker, you can navigate with the keys 'f', 'b', etc.
- its really different from the "obvious" definition of a repl command.
Slime already ain't yo mama's REPL -- it might as well take full advantage of having an Emacs around.
- it doesn't show up in the repl history or buffer anymore (though this could be changed into something similar to CLIM's Listener).
But we could give it an Emacs history ring.
Given how trivial this is to implement i could just do it and we could try it out and see if it works or not.
comments?
I have to admit, my first response on reading about using REPL commands with "," was "what's wrong with \M-x?", so I think this is an unmitigated good.
I agree. Perhaps immediate keybindings for some of the most common commands and M-x for the rest and I'll be quite happy.
