Hi Edi!
Just a few comments:
- The shortcut ,change-directory uses a function read-directory-name which I don't seem to have. I'm using GNU Emacs 21.3.
The function appears to be in GNU Emacs 21.3.5 but not in 21.3.1
- Is there a specific reason that RET isn't bound to newline-and-indent (or something similar) as in ILISP but only to C-j?
This bugged me too. I manually put the following in my .emacs file: (add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (slime-mode t) (define-key lisp-mode-map [(control j)] 'newline) (define-key lisp-mode-map [(control m)] 'newline-and-indent) etc....))
However, I agree that it should probably be the default.
- The fact that SPC (slime-space) still works and does the right thing after you've started entering arguments (contrary to ILISP) is very cool and a real time-saver for me!!
If you like slime-space, you should try adding (slime-autodoc-mode) to your .emacs file. It shows the same info as slime-space does for whatever function your cursor is currently over.
In a separate post, Edi said:
[I'm offline while I write this but I seem to remember that I've somewhere (in CLOCC?) seen a CL package for Emacs Lisp. Does my memory serve me right? Does this package provide Emacs Lisp regular expressions for CL?]
Yes, you are correct - CLOCC has an elisp.lisp file in the cllib package; however, it doesn't have regex support.
Cheers, Bill

Ah, OK. Is that a version from CVS? I actually wanted to try a CVS Emacs anyway because it looks like they made some improvements to lisp-mode after the 21.3 release.
<nitpick> But of course SLIME shouldn't use this function as long as it is advertised as being usable on GNU Emacs 20... :) </nitpick>

Yes, I've also put similar code in my .emacs but I usually prefer to make as few modifications as possible in order to make it easier to upgrade and/or use Emacsen on other machines.

Just did it. Cool!
Cheers, Edi.
