From: .Martin. on 18 Apr 2010 16:14 Hi all, I've got a newbie question: What is slime-mode? I mean I normally start slime by M-x slime. When I issue M-x slime-mode it enables slime mode. Do I have to do enable it? The whole slime thing is still very confusing for me. That's my .emacs: ,---- | ;; Lisp | (setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl") | (add-to-list 'load-path "/home/martin/.emacs.d/slime/") | (require 'slime-autoloads) | (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) `---- Thank you -- regards ..Martin.

I don't think you'll have to do anything more than what you've already done to enable it.

These are enabled modes: ,---- | Enabled minor modes: Auto-Composition Auto-Compression Auto-Encryption | Blink-Cursor Eldoc File-Name-Shadow Font-Lock Global-Auto-Composition | Global-Font-Lock Line-Number Menu-Bar Mouse-Wheel Slime-Editing | Slime-Repl-Map Tool-Bar Tooltip Transient-Mark `---- And the status bar shows: ,---- | *slime-repl sbcl* All L2 (REPL Autodoc) `---- After issuing M-x slime-mode, it adds 'slime' to the lisp of enabled modes and the status bar shows: ,---- | *slime-repl sbcl* All L2 (REPL Autodoc {COMMON-LISP-USER sbcl}) `---- What does it all means for me? Is there anything that you'd recommend to add to the lisp entry in my ..emacs? thank you -- regards ..Martin.

It means you need to open a Lisp file and take a look at the modes active when editing Lisp code, if you want to know about them. You've just looked at the REPL. Really, I'm sure it's fine. You'd probably have to go out of your way to screw something.

M> I've got a newbie question: What is slime-mode? slime-mode is a mode for editing Lisp files, it enables SLIME keybindings and stuff like that. M> I mean I normally start slime by M-x slime. This starts SLIME REPL -- a thing where you type commands. When you start it, it starts a new Lisp instance and connects to it, so REPL is associated with a running Lisp instance. Usually, you have SLIME REPL and some Lisp files you edit, and you do development interactively -- after you've done editing some function, you press C-c C-c while cursor is inside that function, and it will be compiled by the Lisp instance. Then you can try this function in REPL. But you can have SLIME REPL without files to edit, or you can edit files without REPL. So they are like two independent features of SLIME, but usually they are used together. M> Do I have to do enable it? No, it is enabled automatically for .lisp files. E.g. if you open foo.lisp, it will automatically use lisp-mode and slime-mode, so you can use keys like C-c C-c, C-M-x and so on. M> (slime-setup '(slime-fancy)) This command makes slime-mode loading automatically for lisp files (among other things). |
