Hi Tobias

thanks for coming back quickly. I tried to resurrect it by un- commenting it - no luck:

"Wrong type argument: number-or-marker-p, nil"

As the definition is

(defun slime-close-parens-at-point () "Close parenthesis at point to complete the top-level-form. Simply inserts ')' characters at point until `beginning-of-defun' and `end-of-defun' execute without errors, or `slime-close-parens-limit' is exceeded." (interactive) (loop for i from 1 to slime-close-parens-limit until (save-excursion (slime-beginning-of-defun) (ignore-errors (slime-end-of-defun) t)) do (insert ")")))

I guess (wild guessing here, really) it's slime-close-parens-limit that is not set... or?

Thanks again for helping me out... Or are there other alternatives using paredit.el and/or slime functionality?

Cheers Frank

As slime-close-parens-at-point is now deprecated I am in search for a direct replacement. I had that function bound to ")" so the exact number of right parentheses got inserted at point.

Removing it was a mistake by me. (Sorry!) Some older REPL changes rendered it malfunctioning on the REPL, and I mistakenly thought `slime-close-all-parens-in-sexp' would do exactly the same, so I threw it out.

I haven't had time to look at this issue again, so I haven't resurrected it so far.

The function is still in the source base, just commented out. You can simply put the source into your .emacs for now.

No, the variable is still there, but NIL by default (with the meaning that no limit should be assumed.) You just have to replace that reference above with (or slime-close-parens-limit 16).

Yep. Works, of course. Thx!
