(Emacs) Text is read only?
So I was working in emacs and the suddenly, the slime-repl sbcl says text is read only. Well that's great because now I can't type anything into it. How do I fix? devon "Buffer is read-only" can be cured by C-x C-q but as Drew & phils said, "Text is read-only" is very different -- it means some part of the buffer has a read-only property. Try moving away from the read-only part, e.g., to the end of the buffer.
