Hi Bruno, > In vip, if I have a file like: > _____________________ > # file with a single line of code > (prin "print me on the command window") > ___________________ > > is there a way to select the line with the code and send it to the command > window for execution, like slime for emacs?
Yes. Lisp expressions can be evaluaded in the command window by starting the line with a colon followed by a space. Without a space they are taken as a normal editor commands like ":e" or ":w". In Vip, the command window is a normal editor window. You can resize it with "+" and "-", and change the focus to it with "qj". Thus, to do what you ask above, copy the line with "yy", go to the command window, and type ":I: " to insert ": ", and hit <return>. You can edit all lines in the command window by going up with "k", and re- executing them by pressing <return>. To go directly from a normal edit window to the command window, you can also use ":" (like in Vim) or <space>. Both print a ccolon. "/" is like in Vim, and "&" is similar but searches for Lisp words instead of normal (sub)strings: "&abcd" is analog to Vim's "/\<abcd\>". >From a normal edit window, typing two spaces, an expression, and <return> will evaluate it and immediately change the focus back to the original window. ☺/ A!ex -- UNSUBSCRIBE: mailto:picolisp@software-lab.de?subject=Unsubscribe
