<p>74.50.56.165: Suggest enable-paredit-mode rather than (lambda () (paredit-mode +1)). Fix indentation. Call the quick reference what it is; don't dignify it by calling it `documentation'.</p>

<br />
'''Paredit''' is a minor mode for performing structured editing of S-expression data. The typical example of this would be Lisp or Scheme source code.<br />
<br />
Paredit helps '''keep parentheses balanced''' and adds many keys for moving S-expressions and moving around in S-expressions.<br />
<br />
== Basic setup ==<br />
<br />
<source lang="lisp"><br />
(autoload 'enable-paredit-mode "paredit"<br />
"Turn on pseudo-structural editing of Lisp code."<br />
t)<br />
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode)<br />
(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode)<br />
(add-hook 'lisp-interaction-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode)<br />
(add-hook 'scheme-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode)<br />
</source><br />
<br />
== Helpful keybindings ==<br />
<br />
; {{Keys|C-M-f}}<br />
: Forward sexp<br />
<br />
; {{Keys|C-M-b}}<br />
: Backward sexp<br />
<br />
== Common Customization ==<br />
<br />
=== SLIME REPL ===<br />
<br />
<source lang="lisp"><br />
(add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook 'enable-paredit-mode)<br />
</source><br />
<br />
SLIME’s REPL has the very annoying habit of grabbing DEL which interferes with paredit’s normal operation. To alleviate this problem use the following code:<br />
<br />
<source lang="lisp"><br />
;; Stop SLIME's REPL from grabbing DEL,<br />
;; which is annoying when backspacing over a '('<br />
(defun override-slime-repl-bindings-with-paredit ()<br />
(define-key slime-repl-mode-map<br />
(read-kbd-macro paredit-backward-delete-key)<br />
nil))<br />
(add-hook 'slime-repl-mode-hook 'override-slime-repl-bindings-with-paredit)<br />
</source><br />
