description

Limp's goal is to provide a compelling alternative to Slime for Vim. It will let you send s-expressions to a running Lisp. It will do this for you: * booting/attaching/detaching a Lisp (SBCL) from Vim or a command-line script, optionally specifying a core; * send code to the attached Lisp (and limited introspection, see Help Describe); * automatically close brackets; * ease s-exp navigation and (some) transposing; * highlight current form under the cursor; * lookup documentation from the HyperSpec; * complete (some) names. Quickstart (better version with screenshots in the documentation): In a file with "filetype=lisp" set, hit <F12> to invoke Limp and start a Lisp or connect to an existing. Write a piece of code, e.g.:   (defun hello-world (who)     (format t "Hello, ~A!~%" who)) Place the cursor at any location inside the code and type <Leader>et (Evaluate Top) to send your code to the running Lisp. Hit <F12> again to see the results!  Then, by placing the cursor at hello-world and typing <Leader>hd (Help Describe) followed by <F12>, you'll see information about the symbol! (Full list of key bindings at http://mikael.jansson.be/hacking/limp/docs/#keyboard-reference ) To test it, type   :Eval (hello-world '|Limp User|) followed by <Enter> and <F12>. More info in the documentation! Uses code from ViLisp (vimscript #221), AutoClose (vimscript #1849), HiMtchBrkt (vimscript #1435)

package	script version	date	Vim version	user	release notes
limp-0.3.4.tar.gz	0.3.4	2008-06-08	7.0	Mikael Jansson	Mostly bugfix release, with some extra candy. Fixed bugs: #15 (mappings set twice when navigating Lisp buffers); #16 (more robust startup procedure), #19 (eval working on unsaved buffers). New features: #20 (proper installer), #21 (s-exp navigation and (experimental) transposing).
limp-0.3.3.tar.gz	0.3.3	2008-05-24	7.0	Mikael Jansson	* CompileFile/CompileAndLoadFile now saves the file before telling Lisp to load it (#4). * New command, :Eval, same functionality as \ex. * Easier keyboard configuration (keys.vim) * It is now a Lisp filetype plugin, so Limp will start automatically for Lisp files. (set filetype=lisp) * Configurable location of SBCL in lisp.sh * Updated documentation about Cmd for Fn-keys in OS X
limp-0.3.2.tar.gz	0.3.2	2008-04-29	7.0	Mikael Jansson	* 2008-04-28 by Mikael Jansson <[email protected]>   + **ADDED**: TODO file in the distro.   + *FIXED*: Last occurance of "Lim" found in the HyperSpec helper. Now     documentation should work properly.   + TWEAK: Only change colorscheme and nocompatible when not previously set. * 2008-04-27 by Mikael Jansson <[email protected]>   + *FIXED*: Connect-or-boot, without a name given to boot.
