4.9.3 Evaluation in Listener commands

Evaluate Defun In Listener

Editor Command

Argument: editp
Key sequence: None

This command works rather like Evaluate Defun in that it evaluates the current top-level form and handles defvar forms usefully. However, instead of doing the evaluation in the Editor window, it copies the form into a Listener window as if you had entered it there.

Normally the evaluation is done immediately, but if a prefix argument is given, the text is inserted into the Listener for you to edit before pressing Return to evaluate it.

An in-package form is inserted before the form when necessary, so this will change the current package in the Listener.

Evaluate Last Form In Listener

Editor Command

Argument: editp
Key sequence: None

This command works rather like Evaluate Last Form in that it evaluates the Lisp form preceding the current point. However, instead of doing the evaluation in the Editor window, it copies the form into a Listener window as if you had entered it there.

Normally the evaluation is done immediately, but if a prefix argument is given, the text is inserted into the Listener for you to edit before pressing Return to evaluate it.

An in-package form is inserted before the form when necessary, so this will change the current package in the Listener.

Evaluate Region In Listener

Editor Command

Argument: editp
Key sequence: None

This command works rather like Evaluate Region in that it evaluates the Lisp forms in the current region. However, instead of doing the evaluation in the Editor window, it copies the forms into a Listener window as if you had entered them there.

Normally the evaluation is done immediately, but if a prefix argument is given, the forms are inserted into the Listener for you to edit before pressing Return to evaluate them.

An in-package form is inserted before the forms when necessary, so this will change the current package in the Listener.
