Hi y’all,
I’m experimenting with Readline config (generating completions, setting up keybindings, etc.) for CL REPLs. It’s working, with a single exception: completions are split over hyphens, e.g. typing mak
, I get make
and makunboud
as the only completions. Even though there’re make-array
and make-instance
in the completions file. Anyone knows how to allow completing mak
to make-array
, make-instance
and other hyphenated words? Any other gotchas for Lisp-specific Readline setup?
I think
-b '()'
is enough (word delimiters are parens) but this is more complete:--break-chars "(){}[],'#\";|\\"
At that point you might want to try cl-repl?
A summary of options: https://gist.github.com/vindarel/2309154f4e751be389fa99239764c363 Like, use
--remember
to tab-complete what was previously defined.Right, thanks for the gist!
I’m not yet using cl-repl because I want to have distinct tools composed to a usable whole or at least try to do that before surrendering to complete setups like cl-repl. But thanks for the recommendation anyway!
