Hi,

I had an earlier wishlist item in 2012, which I wrote to slime-devel about (see my post quoted below). João has kindly implemented this in his SLY project.

I was wondering if the SLIME devs would consider adding a similar feature, or just copying João's feature. I'm sure he'll give you all the relevant information. Thank you for your consideraion.

Regards, Faheem Mitha

Hi,

I've found this idea useful so I've added the feature that Faheem described to SLY's `sly-mrepl-sync` command.

SLY is a fork/clone of SLIME with a cleaner UI and more features. See https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly and read the NEWS.md file at https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly/blob/master/NEWS.md if you're interested.

Bye, João

Hello everyone,

I've recently started using SLIME with SBCl on Debian, where SLIME defaults to using SBCL, at least when it is installed. So far I am very impressed. I haven't been able to take off and fly yet, but I'm on the runway.:-)

I'm particularly impressed by the underlining source which has compile errors, and doing a popup on mouseover feature. I don't know whose idea this was, but it is pretty damn cool. Does anyone know the history of this feature?

So, I have a question about SLIME. When debugging, or indeed otherwise, I find it useful to copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL. I've been using the mouse for this, which is decidedly sub-optimal. I hate using the mouse. I was thinking that it would be handy to have a command which would copy and paste S-expressions from a buffer to the REPL, while at the same time switching the buffer to the REPL. The S-expression would be chosen by having the cusor to the right of the closing expression. I'm not sure if this position has a name.

I don't know if this command already exists. I could not find it in the manual. If it doesn't, could someone tell me what code would tell emacs to do this? My knowledge of Emacs programming is non-existent.

Please CC me on any reply. Thanks. Regards, Faheem

I found "M-x slime-eval-last-expression" in other buffer is an alternative way to achieve.
