[slime-devel] slime-macroexpand-in-place
hi, the attached patch provides a function, slmie-macroexpand-in-place, which does exactly what slmie-macroexpand-1 does but replaces the text of the form with its expansion. i've found this very usefull in a *SLME Macroexpansion* buffer and i plan on commiting it. however i don't know what keys to bind it to. is there a way to create a minor-mode such that the slime-macroexpand-1-in-place and slime-macroexpand-all-in-place are bound to the same keys as what the user has bound slime-macroexpand-1 and slmie-macroexpand-all to? -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget the perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen

Prefix argument to slime-macroexpand? So that C-c RET is slime-macroexpand, and C-u C-c RET is the new thing? Just a though. Cheers, -- Nikodemus Schemer: "Buddha is small, clean, and serious." Lispnik: "Buddha is big, has hairy armpits, and laughs."

my plan, which may be a bit drastic, was to not bind these in slime-mode and replace the bindings of slime-macroexand-(1|all) with the new things in the slime-macroexpansion mode. i'm guesing that if you're in a lisp buffer and you macroexpand you don't ever want your code replaced with the expansion, and if you're already in a macroexpansion buffer it's more helpfull to see the expansion within the context of the outer macro. though this changing of keybindings may be really counter-intuitive. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring.

Hey Marco, that sounds really great! I made a request for something on that line about a month ago in january: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/slime-devel/2006-January/004525.html Personally, I'd like that `C-c C-m' or `C-c RET' respectively works in-place within the Macroexpansion buffer, and when prefixed a new Macroexpansion buffer is created as hinted at in my post above. -T.

I think you forgot the attachment :-)

is there a way to create a minor-mode such that the slime-macroexpand-1-in-place and slime-macroexpand-all-in-place are bound to the same keys as what the user has bound slime-macroexpand-1 and slmie-macroexpand-all to?
Not that I know of. But `where-is' or `where-is-internal' may be good enough to do it yourself. Helmut.

the attached patch attempts to do this, tell me what you think. -- -Marco Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget the perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in. -Leonard Cohen
