kosh04 / newlisp-mode Goto Github PK

Hi,
I'm working auto-completion integration for newLISP, which depends on your newlisp-mode(the repo is at: https://github.com/kkspeed/ac-newlisp). I've written a routine to eval newlisp command and read back(the newlisp-command routine). I think this routine should be part of newlisp-mode or there should be similar routines.

Thanks.

M-: is a very important, general-purpose Emacs hotkey for evaluating Emacs Lisp commands. Please don't override this key to evaluate newLISP code.

As a workaround, I've added:

(use-package newlisp-mode
  :init
  (define-key newlisp-mode-map (kbd "M-:") nil))

to my .emacs.

I believe smartparens should be disabled for the quote symbol (')

the problem is:
when using smartparens typing a quote ('), also inserts a matching quote, which I believe is unwanted for any newlisp programmer, in most lisp modes I've used this doesn't happen, I can setup smartparens manually, but when I tried to make it work with a hook, for some reason I need to load the mode twice before it works (atleast on my spacemacs setup).

I believe the maintainer of this would know how to fix this (I'm not very experienced with elisp)

Thanks.

I try to add newlisp-complete-symbol to completion-at-point-functions to make it can used by company-mode.
But it still popup candidates in *Completions* buffer.
completion-at-point-functions is Emacs standard completion interface.

Hi, is it a good idea to install newlisp-mode via emacs package management?(elpa or something?)

Thanks.

Hi kosh!

I just realized that you renamed your repo newlisp-files to newlisp-mode.el when I tried today to do a git clone of newlisp-files (the old name). :)

My issue is that now, in my .emacs file, when I say (require 'newlisp), Emacs (on Windoze) will complain that it cannot find "newlisp" and drop into the debugger. This ceased to be a problem after I renamed the Emacs Lisp code file from newlisp-mode.el to newlisp.el. I was surprised that require, which at first surely tried to load newlisp.el, did not also try to load newlisp-mode.el when it couldn't find newlisp.el.

Therefore, I recommend that you to rename the .el (Emacs Lisp code) file from newlisp-mode.el back to newlisp.el.

In addition, I would recommend that you rename the repo (not the Emacs Lisp file) from newlisp-mode.el to newlisp-mode. However, this rename is not as essential as the other one, since I can git clone git://github.com/kosh04/newlisp-mode.el.git newlisp-mode.

By the way, I am "rickyboy" on the newLISP Fan Club (discussion board) and I have already thanked you there for your very nice newLISP mode for Emacs, but I thank you again here! :)

Best, --Rick (rickyboy)
