[slime-devel] Shrinking REPL buffer

Sometimes when I have been using the same Slime session for some time, the Slime REPL buffer can get very large. This makes some unusual behaviour appear, some things are slower, and when typing <tab> sometimes it apparently hangs, and I have to escape by C-g. So, is there some good way to, say, remove the first half of the REPL buffer or so that doesn't involve restarting the lisp process or otherwise disturbing things? Björn

C-c C-t in the REPL C-c C-h and C-h m will also help since this will contain e.g. [...] C-c C-n slime-repl-next-prompt C-c C-o slime-repl-clear-output <=== C-c C-p slime-repl-previous-prompt C-c C-q slime-close-parens-at-point C-c C-r slime-eval-region C-c C-s slime-insert-arglist C-c C-t slime-repl-clear-buffer <=== [...] regards -ts -- ,, \../ / <<< The LISP Effect |_\\ _==__ __ | |bb| | _________________________________________________

I use C-c C-t, slime-repl-clear-buffer, for this. It zaps out everything in the REPL buffer and starts fresh. (The docstring for that function in slime.el is pretty strange.) Zach
