Total newbie here. I have ILISP and I understand that SLIME is for making it easier for Emacs to interact with 3rd party Lisp interpreters. But does/will it also improve on Emacs-Lisp mode?
For example, here are some things I'm looking for:
* automatic re-indentation (so that if I cut paste something it automatically adjusts the indentation) * "better" keyboard keyboard mappings for movement/selection
Without getting into too much detail, I first just wanna know if the above is even within the scope of SLIME.
Thanks, -Martin

'fraid not :-). What you want is outside the scope of SLIME, we're just adding features to interact with external Common Lisps.
For example, here are some things I'm looking for:
- automatic re-indentation (so that if I cut paste something it
automatically adjusts the indentation)
The command `indent-sexp' does something like this, you can run it with C-M-q.
The best reference I can offer is the "Editing Programs" section of the Emacs manual, which you probably have as an info file and is also on the web at:
