[Sorry for that ugly message: this is what happens when gnus refuses to post and I think I'll try lynx :-(. Combined with cut and paste it's a recipe for disaster. But I give it another try anyway. By the way, if somebody knows how to make gnus behave and not tell me this: Couldn't send message via news: 441 No valid newsgroups in "gmane.lisp.slime.devel" I'm open to suggestions :-)]

After doing symbol completion with M-TAB in *inferior-lisp*, the *Completions* buffer remains open if it had previously been activated. Is it possible to make *Completions* disappear as soon as a unique symbol is selected?

I agree with Paolo, this would be very nice, and of course not just in *inferior-lisp*, but in source buffers, too. The following patch does this, in a very crude way. It is definitely not fit for people using their mice to chose a completion. diff -a -u -r1.61 slime.el --- slime.el 29 Oct 2003 23:41:55 -0000 1.61 +++ slime.el 31 Oct 2003 20:29:43 -0000 @@ -1815,8 +1815,10 @@ (t (message "Making completion list...")
