[racket-dev] slash-form + bug in PLaneT keybindings require?
I tried to make some keybindings available using PLaneT today, and ran into two problems--I suspect that this mechanism is not frequently used. 1) I can't use the slash-form in this require. That is, I have to type (planet magic-paren.rkt (clements magic-paren.plt 1 0)) instead of (planet clements/magic-paren/magic-paren) . In fact, I'd be even happier just typing clements/magic-paren/magic-paren 2) After typing the above, DrRacket installed the one-file planet package (and GOLLY, it took a while, but that's a different issue), and finally got this error: Error when installing the keybindings (planet magic-paren.rkt (clements magic-paren.plt 1 0)): symbol-string: expects argument of type symbol; given #resolved-module-path:/Users/clements/Library/Racket/planet/300/5.1.2.2/cache/clements/magic-paren.plt/1/0/magic-paren.rkt 3) I suppose I'd be happiest of all if I could simply have an electric-parenthesis option built in to DrRacket. Does this seem like an appropriate preference entry for the factory DrRacket?

As to 3), yes.

I would say to put it in the framework. Probably scheme.rkt. Thanks!

I'd much prefer eliminating such function calls.

Whoa, whoa there. They're there for a reason. I can't remember why, but I am pretty certain I have actually used such a function.
