Subject: ilisp: needs eval-last-sexp From: JBThiel <jb...@ne...> Resent-From: JBThiel <jb...@ne...> hi Marco, et.al. thanks for your great work on the very useful ilisp package. One frustrating omission is that there is no eval-last-sexp counterpart to eval-next-sexp. I consider the former vastly more useful and natural; 90% of the time I am at the end of an expression (generally one I have just typed, or navigated to the end of), and want to evaluate it. In emacs-lisp buffers this works quite naturally -- in fact, there are TWO key bindings devoted to this use case: C-j eval-print-last-sexp C-x C-e eval-last-sexp Ilisp instead presents the very annoying extra step(s) of always navving back to the beginning of the sexp. So I strongly urge that Ilisp provide eval-last-sexp functionality, and furthermore, elevate it to a prominent keybinding (and menu) that tracks the standard emacs usage -- for example, a logical choice would be C-c C-e. Regards, John ps. please forward to any ilisp-bug list as appropriate. ------- End of forwarded message ------- -- Marco Antoniotti ======================================================== NYU Courant Bioinformatics Group tel. +1 - 212 - 998 3488 715 Broadway 10th Floor fax +1 - 212 - 995 4122 New York, NY 10003, USA http://bioinformatics.cat.nyu.edu "Hello New York!
