Then, SLIME and Python-mode have > C-c C-r to evaluate the region, but emacs-lisp-mode doesn't have that. This does indeed point to one missing functionality: an "inferior-comint-minor-mode". I.e. a minor to use in source code buffers that provides the usual bindings to send commands to some underlying comint buffer (like C-c C-l). > - Running the inferior interpreter process. M-x R in ESS, M-x slime > in SLIME (rather than M-x lisp), and M-x run-python (rather than M-x > python) in python-mode. M-x run- is the standard name used. I don't love it because it breaks the "prefix all functions" convention, but it's been around for a long time. Stefan
