[slime-devel] controlling indentation of let forms
Is it possible to change how slime (is slime controlling the ident process??) indents let forms? I prefer a let to look like this: (let (var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6) ...) but its currently indented like this: (let (var1 var2 var3 var4 var5 var6) ...) Can I change this? Or is slime the wrong place to look? Thanks for any info. -Ram

The lisp-indent-function does the indentation and SLIME is not quite responsible for the indentation (or syntax highlighting). SLIME gives the indentation code some hints about macros with &body arguments, but only if there isn't already some other rule. The idea is that SLIME does only the stuff which needs interaction with the external Lisp process.

If your lisp-indent-function is set to common-lisp-indent-function you could try something like: (put 'let 'common-lisp-indent-function '(&lambda &body)) If you use another indent-function you may need other parameters. For very complicated syntax, like loop, you may also specify your own function like: (put 'let 'common-lisp-indent-function 'my-indent-fun) Helmut.

Anybody with a good[*] LOOP indentation function? Paolo [*] I.e. better than the default one that comes with lisp-mode/cl-indent.el. -- Lisp Propulsion Laboratory log - http://www.paoloamoroso.it/log

I posted one in this group a few months ago.

Thank you! This did the trick. For those who use xemacs you will need to grab cl-indent.el from a recent GNU emacs release and use that instead of the rather old version from xemacs... -Ram
