I am still new to emacs and Common Lisp, so this may be a trivial
question. When I am working in SLIME, I typically have 2 buffers, one
for the REPL, and one for editing code. When a function is small, and
I close a parenthesis, emacs quickly flashes the corresponding
parenthesis that is being closed. However, when a function is very
long, I can not see what open parenthesis corresponds to the closed
parenthesis I just typed. This is because it is above what is viewable
on the screen. How should I deal with this? Is there any key binding
in SLIME that allows me to quickly flash the corresponding open paren
that I am working in? Thanks.
I use mic-paren for that. You can get mic-paren.el from:
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/download/mic-paren.el
Then put mic-paren.el in your emacs load path
(http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-lisp-intro/html_node/Loading-
Files.html).
Then put the following in your .emacs:
(require 'mic-paren)
(paren-activate)
(setq paren-display-message 'only)
However, for some reason, if a parenthesized expression is
very long, matching of parentheses will fail. To fix that,
put the following in your .emacs:
(setq blink-matching-paren-distance nil)
More info on the aforementioned function(s) and variables
can be accesed via the emacs help system:
C-h f paren-activate RET
C-h v paren-display-message RET
C-h v blink-matching-paren-distance RET
