I had some trouble getting slime to work on windows. If you are running emacs you can get a lot of functionality with simple keyboard macros. If you split the screen 'Ctrl-x 2' and start a shell buffer 'Meta-x shell' you can run clojure in the shell. You can edit lisp in the other buffer and use 'Ctrl-x o' to switch between the buffers. A simple keyboard macro can be set on a key (e.g. f1) with 'Meta-:' (global-set-key [f1] "\C-x/1\C-[\C-a\C-@\C-[\C-f\C-[w\C-xo\C-y\C-m\C-xo\C-xj1") Pressing the F1 key now will evaluate the s-expression that contains the point. This works by: (remember the position) "\C-x/1" (go to the beginning) "\C-[\C-a" (remember the point) "\C-@" (mark the s-expression) "\C-[\C-f" (push it to the killring) "\C-[w" (switch to other buffer) "\C-xo" (yank the s-expression) "\C-y" (hit enter to eval it) "\C-m" (switch to other buffer) "\C-xo" (go back to position) "\C-xj1" Tim Daly -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
