[slime-devel] Control up-arrow broken?

[Shane Hoversten]

Hi -

In Slime 2.0, if you're in the REPL and you type the beginning of a 
form, and then control up-arrow, you iterate through forms that match 
the portion of the form that you've typed so far.  In CVS Slime this no 
longer works.  (I don't know when it stopped working.)

To illustrate, in Slime 2.0  if you typed:

CL-USER> (blah 'hi 2 3 4)
CL-USER> (monkey 10 10 10)

and then

CL-USER> (bl[control up-arrow]

Slime would offer up the (blah ...) form.  Now, it offers up the last 
form typed, the (monkey ...) form.

Perhaps this was a purposeful change? (Although I don't know who 
wouldn't want the 2.0 behavior.)  If so, is there any way to get the 2.0 
behavior back?  If it was NOT a purposeful change, I'm surprised that 
I'm the only person who's noticed this - I use this feature all the 
time, and assumed others did, too.

Comments?
