Good morning,


1 My goal
=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=
=95=90

  My goal is to enable [smartparens] in the minibuffer but only when
  calling `eval-expression'. That includes the inactive minibuffer. My
  attempt to do so looks like this:

  =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80
  =E2=94=82 (defun gcr/smartparens-if-eval-expr ()
  =E2=94=82   "Enable Smartparens in the mini-buffer but only when eval'ing=
 expressions"
  =E2=94=82   (if (eq this-command 'eval-expression)
  =E2=94=82       (turn-on-smartparens-strict-mode)))
  =E2=94=82
  =E2=94=82 (defun gcr/minibuffer-setup-hook ()
  =E2=94=82   "Personal setup."
  =E2=94=82   (local-set-key "ESC y" 'gcr/paste-from-x-clipboard)
  =E2=94=82   (gcr/smartparens-if-eval-expr))
  =E2=94=82
  =E2=94=82 (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'gcr/minibuffer-setup-hook)
  =E2=94=82
  =E2=94=82 (add-hook 'minibuffer-inactive-mode-hook 'gcr/minibuffer-setup-=
hook)
  =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80

  What I expected is that `smartparens' would be enabled every time I
  enter the minibuffer. The problem I am facing is that it is not.


  [smartparens] https://github.com/Fuco1/smartparens


2 Issue and questions
=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=
=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=
=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90=E2=95=90

  Instead:
  =E2=80=A2 It is only turned on inside of the minibuffer on the first call=
 to
    `eval-expression'
  =E2=80=A2 Every call after that to `eval-expression' does not result in
      `smartparens' being enabled

  "Being enabled" means that:
  =E2=80=A2 After starting Emacs
  =E2=80=A2 After typing `M-:', entering a open round bracket, and I will s=
ee
    the right balanced bracket inserted, too.
  =E2=80=A2 While in that minibuffer, doing a `C-h m' shows the list of mod=
es
    and Smartparen is in there. It looks like this:
    =E2=80=A2 `Show-Smartparens-Global Size-Indication Smartparens
      Smartparens-Strict'

  Following those steps, within the same Emacs session, the 2nd time
  that I try to perform those steps it is no longer true in that:
  1. Smartparens is not turned on.

  One thing that I did check for is that I am in the correct mode and
  command added in the hook this:

  =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80
  =E2=94=82 (print (format "%s %s" mode-name this-command))
  =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80

  And got what I expected 3 times:

  =E2=95=AD=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80
  =E2=94=82 InactiveMinibuffer eval-expression
  =E2=95=B0=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80=E2=94=80

  Clearly, *I* am doing something wrong, not the modeline or
  Smartparens. I am looking for thoughts on what I am doing wrong, and
  wondering what I may do different to investigate and discover the
  nature my error since:
  =E2=80=A2 Smartparens works fine
  =E2=80=A2 Modeline works fine
  =E2=80=A2 What am I doing wrong?
