Hi,
I want to use my own debugger function. Normally I do this by setting a custom function designator to cl:*debugger-hook*. With Slime I can't do this automatically because swank sets it to #'swank:swank-debugger-hook.
The Slime manual says that ~/.swank.lisp can be used for setting swank:*global-debugger* to nil. Even if I do this, cl:*debugger-hook* is still set to swank's function.
Is there a way to set custom debugger automatically with Slime? Mostly I use SBCL.

Works for me: the gobal value of *debugger-hook* is nil. SLIME still dynamically binds it while processing it's own requests.

Not that I know of.

Ah, separate binding, indeed. In *inferior-lisp* buffer *debugger-hook* variable is NIL and in Slime-REPL buffer it's swank's debugger function.

OK, thanks. I ended up redefining swank:swank-debugger-hook function in ~/.swank.lisp file. It's a bit ugly but does what I want.
My "debugger" just prints the condition type, available restarts and error message. Then it invokes ABORT restart automatically. I don't need Slime's debugger because SBCL does not give much useful information there anyway (even with the highest debugging level).
