insert defun for symbol; slime

leave a comment »

A small extension of mine for slime. When you’re standing on a symbol, you can request emacs (with `C-c a f’ here) to place a new defun for the symbol right before the actual top level form at point.

(require 'slime)

(defun dot-emacs-my-add-def (what)
  (let ((s (slime-symbol-name-at-point)))
    (if s
        (progn
          (set-mark (point))
          (beginning-of-defun)
          (insert-string (concat "(" what " " s " ()\n\n"))
          (backward-char 3)))))

(defun dot-emacs-my-add-defun ()
  (interactive)
  (dot-emacs-my-add-def "defun"))

(slime-define-key "af" 'dot-emacs-my-add-defun :prefixed t)

 

Moreover, when finished, by pressing `C-u C-Space’, one can return back to the point from where the command was called.
