paredit

I've recently set up a Common Lisp programming environment in Mac OS X Leopard. One emacs module which I've found to be indispensable is paredit. Paredit is doing its part to help me wrangle my Lisp code more easily, but I've ran into a bit of a snare. C-), bound to paredit-forward-slurp-sexp , is not forward slurping sexps but instead echoing the number 0 . I'm using a Mac, alternating between iTerm and Terminal. The same problem is present in both apps. I tried the same key combination in GNU Emacs' GUI version, and lo, it worked. Unfortunately the graphical version of Emacs does not satisfy

How can I define a command in paredit mode that swaps parentheses and square brackets? The following code does what you request. You can bind swap-parens to whatever key binding you want. (defvar swap-paren-pairs '("()" "[]")) (defun swap-parens-at-points (b e) (let ((open-char (buffer-substring b (+ b 1))) (paren-pair-list (append swap-paren-pairs swap-paren-pairs))) (while paren-pair-list (if (eq (aref open-char 0) (aref (car paren-pair-list) 0)) (save-excursion (setq to-replace (cadr paren-pair-list)) (goto-char b) (delete-char 1) (insert (aref to-replace 0)) (goto-char (- e 1)) (delete

I am using emacs 24 on Windows 7 and have installed technomancy's clojure-mode along with paredit 23 beta. I load the source file from my leiningen project and get a repl using clojure-jack-in. The problem is that while paredit is enabled in both Clojure mode and the repl, curly braces are not matched in the repl only in source files. How can I get it to match braces in the repl as well? I added the following to my .emacs file, that does the trick for me (I did not invent this myself, it's a snippet I found somewhere online - but I can't remember where): (defun setup-slime-repl-paredit ()

I'm using the Clojure mode package from ELPA. Otherwise everything is fine, but I just can't stand paredit mode. I can't seem to turn it off easily, now I just disable it for every buffer I open. I tried setting this variable to nil: (setq clojure-enable-paredit nil) But paredit still appears. Any ideas? Not an answer to your actual question, but give paredit mode a chance. I, too, was really annoyed with it automatically closing my parens, and refusing to delete just a single paren for me. But doing this enables it to be certain at all times that the buffer is a well-balanced sexp, so it can
