2019年1月22日 · The Elisp manual - mostly a reference, but some good usage guidance and conceptual info too. It's built into Emacs: C-h i then choose the Elisp manual. The Emacs Lisp Intro - step-by-step intro to Lisp and Emacs Lisp. Also built into Emacs and available from C-h i. Since you've used Common Lisp it will be super easy to pick up Emacs Lisp ...

The whole customize thing is rather complex. Without it, the emacs system is much simpler. The customize is a layer that doesn't exactly mesh well with elisp. For one thing, it order all vars by alphabets. Also, many customization are not about variables (e.g. hooks, keys) so can't use customize. So you have a situation of manual elisp code anyway.

In general, Elisp isn't terribly consistent about quoted vs. unquoted arguments, but any function (not macro) that needs to interact with a variable instead of a value will take its argument quoted (setq being a major exception). –

In this, it is similar to quote (*note Quoting::). But unlike quote, it also serves as a note to the Emacs evaluator and byte-compiler that FUNCTION-OBJECT is intended to be used as a function

2015年7月11日 · To clarify: do you have an Elisp source file (my interpretation), or do you have a bunch of variables and functions in the current Emacs environment (Constantine's interpretation)? And if the first interpretation, do you really want all (def…) sexps, not just top-level specs? Or the intermediate interpretation of the functions and variables ...

2016年3月18日 · The Emacs Lisp Reference Manual's Appendix D.7 mentions some comment tips: Single semicolons (;) should be used for inline comments. Double semicolons (;;) should be used for line comments. Triple

2015年5月14日 · The function in question is elisp (not C) and is just 19 lines long -- it triggers (among other things) the function that is found within simple.el which normally runs multiple times per redisplay cycle and affects the visible windows -- i.e., redisplay--update-region-highlight Setting the variable alone is not going to trigger that redisplay ...
