Open CL files in SLIME from the ACL IDE - Part 2
Thursday, July 22, 2004
The other day, I showed how you could use the ACL IDE under MS Windows and have it call up SLIME/Emacs whenever you need to open a CL source file. However, there were a couple of problems with the code that I posted:
- The ACL ELI key bindings (in addition to the SLIME key bindings) were still active in Lisp source buffers. Since I wanted to use ELI only for the hand shake with the ACL IDE and not for editing CL code (I'm using SLIME for that), I didn't want the ELI key bindings.
- ELI changes the Emacs mode for any file that is supposed to be opened under "lisp-mode" to "common-lisp-mode" (an ELI-specific mode). I didn't want this override as ELI does a lot of stuff to common-lisp-mode (also, it might be confusing to people who are used to being in lisp-mode when they're working in SLIME).
