[slim-vim] ecl-repl 1.0.0 now available

[Larry Clapp]

Hi, all,

Tired of typing :ecl a lot?  Now you don't have to.  See
http://theclapp.org/lisp/ecl-repl.1.0.0.vim.

Note: this has nothing to do with Slime or Swank and makes no
pretensions that it does.  Hopefully, though, it'll make it easier for
those of us working on slim-vim, and will make the wait easier for the
rest.

> Purpose: Provide a way to interact with the ECL embedded in Vim.
> Overview: Creates a "repl output buffer"; most mappings copy the
> current expression to this buffer, evaluate it, print the output (if
> any), and the result.  Some mappings evaluate the current expression
> and print the results at the bottom of the screen.  (Those may go
> away; not sure of their usefulness.)
> 
> Mappings: 
> (NOTE: All mappings are global.)
> 
> <leader>es - Evaluate S-expression -- prints results at bottom of
>              screen
> <leader>ee - Eval Expression -- Prints results to the repl output
>              buffer.
> 
> The es and ee commands make very little sense, mnemonically.  VILisp
> uses es, and I chose ee for the new command because it's close to es
> and easy to type.  Please feel free to remap them and/or suggest
> changes.
> 
> <leader>cs: eval innermost form cursor is in and print result at bottom of
>             screen
> <leader>ce: eval innermost form cursor is in and send to repl output buffer
> 
> visual: <leader>ee: eval marked block; send to repl output buffer.
> <leader>ev: eval variable under cursor
> 
> <leader>lf - Load current file
> <leader>m1 - (emm-one) Macroexpand-1 the current expression
> <leader>me - macroexpand the current expression
> 
> <leader>ri: reindent toplevel expression
> <leader>lw: add current word to 'lispwords' and reindent expression.
> 
> Temp/Scratch files: as touched on above, we create two scratch
> files, one is the "repl output buffer", and one is a scratch Lisp
> buffer for ephemeral experiments.  The repl output buffer is used to
> show the forms evaluated, their output, and their values; it's
> read-only and non-modifiable.  The scratch buffer is for one-off
> experimentation.
> 
> These two mappings navigate these two buffers.
> 
> <leader>rb: view repl output buffer; splits to the repl output
>             buffer; leaves cursor in current window.
> <leader>lb: split to lisp buffer; leave cursor in Lisp buffer.
