Slime indentation and colour

Slime indentation and colour

[Sard]

I'm using Emacs 21.4.1 and slime 2006-11-26.

When I type code in the relp it's indented automatically, but when I
type in a buffer of a file ending in .lisp who's buffer is in (Lisp
Slime) mode it doesn't.  How can I change this?

Also how do I enable color syntax highlighting?

Thanks.

Add the following to your init file.

(add-hook 'lisp-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent)))

(global-font-lock-mode 1)

Well, I had some problem with that exact key binding.

The problem is that when I set lisp-mode-map, my [ret] would also be
bound on *slime-repl*, and my expressions would not get evaluated!
I think you need [ret] to be bound to slime-repl-return in the REPL...

So I found out that its better to use slime-mode-map for keybinding
relative to editing .lisp files, and slime-repl-mode-map to
keybindings related to the repl.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, since I found that out by trial-and-
error.

That sounds strange to me. The REPL should not be in Lisp mode or use
that keymap. (My SLIME version is 2007-05-17.)

I don't think that's a good idea. Slime mode is also used for buffers
that are not Lisp (e.g., the apropos buffer.)

Hmm that sucks.
How could I change the slime REPL to be no another mode ?
Thanks in advance,

Get the latest SLIME. If it fails, try to locate what is causing this.
Check your slime-repl-mode-hook. It could be something you put in your
init file, so start emacs with -Q and go from there.
