Subject: C-j in Lisp interaction mode.
Date: Thu, 7 Aug 2003 12:08:21 -0500 (CDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200308071708.h77H8LR15118@raven.dms.auburn.edu> (raw)
C-j in Lisp interaction mode overrides `print-length' and
`print-level' using `eval-expression-print-length' and
`eval-expression-print-level'. The purpose of the latter two
variables would seem to avoid printing huge expressions in the echo
area. But I do not see any reason to use them in
`eval-print-last-sexp', bound to C-j in Lisp interaction mode. I
would propose to change `eval-print-last-sexp' to just use
`print-length' and `print-level'. Also,
`eval-expression-print-length' and `eval-expression-print-level' do
not seem to be documented in the Elisp manual, which makes their use
very confusing to beginning Elisp users.
Sincerely,
Luc.
