Typing C-g after C-c in a buffer editing a Lisp file will get a *sldb* buffer to show up:
Error in function NIL: Interrupt from Emacs [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]
Restarts: 0: [CONTINUE] Continue from interrupt. 1: [ABORT] Abort handling SLIME request. 2: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.
Backtrace: ...
I find myself getting thrown into a debugger this way quite a few times everyday. Could someone make Slime handle C-g better after a C-c?
Thanks a lot.
Best,

Well, C-c C-g is supposed to do that. You are free to rebind the key. I for one quite like C-c C-g. If it should be the default binding is another question. Opinions?

I thought C-g is the universal club with which you can abort anything in Emacs. After reading your reply, I took one more look at Slime's doc and found the following 2 entries: C-c C-b slime-interrupt C-c C-g slime-interrupt I knew and used C-c C-b a few times. I did not know C-c C-g does the same thing as C-c C-b. Could someone tell me what Emacs command to use to unbind C-c C-g? I'd like to do it in my .emacs because I want C-g to be consistent with the rest of my Emacs usage.

(define-key slime-mode-map "\C-c\C-g" nil)
should do the trick.

I am a little annoyed by it. I typically type "C-c", realize I am not ready to do a command yet, and hit C-g to cancel. I'm accustomed to C-g being a safe way to stop what I'm doing in emacs. Triggering a Lisp interrupt isn't what I have in mind.
OK, that's quite a good argument against C-c C-g. I removed the binding in the CVS version.

In what situations is it useful? Perhaps there's a new mode of usage I could learn...

I think we should change it to not be the default binding. I've been tripping over it recently when using SLIME along with other minor-mode that I'm not so familiar with: I press C-c, remember it's the wrong prefix for the command I want, then press C-g by reflex and end up in sldb.
C-c C-b is okay for me.

Normally, it's C-c C-c, like in M-x shell or M-x eshell:
C-c C-c comint-interrupt-subjob C-c C-z comint-stop-subjob C-c C-\ comint-quit-subjob C-c C-b shell-backward-command

It's C-c C-c in the REPL, but here we're talking about the binding in lisp-mode source buffers, where C-c C-c is compile-defun.
