[Slime-devel] Fwd: cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to REPL (fwd)

[Faheem Mitha]

Hi,

I had an earlier wishlist item in 2012, which I wrote to slime-devel about 
(see my post quoted below). João has kindly implemented this in his SLY 
project.

I was wondering if the SLIME devs would consider adding a similar feature, 
or just copying João's feature. I'm sure he'll give you all the relevant 
information. Thank you for your consideraion.

                                                     Regards, Faheem Mitha

Subject: Fwd: [Slime-devel] cutting and pasting S-expressions from buffer to
     REPL

Hi,

I've found this idea useful so I've added the feature that Faheem
described to SLY's `sly-mrepl-sync` command.

SLY is a fork/clone of SLIME with a cleaner UI and more features. See
https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly and read the NEWS.md file at
https://github.com/capitaomorte/sly/blob/master/NEWS.md if you're
interested.

Bye,
João
