- qorrect 4y agoIt's on the first line there "ParEdit (paredit.el) is a minor mode for performing structured editing of S-expression data. The typical example of this would be Lisp or Scheme source code." You'd have to known emacs nomenclature ( minor-mode ) and Lispy words ( S-expression )
- nulbyte 4y agoI assume E: is for edit. I think GP was pointing out that the ParEdit website doesn't offer much in the way of explanation, and later found another site that did.
- srcreigh 4y agoIf you click paredit.el, there’s prose explanation in the comments.
- gabiruh 4y agoYeah... a couple GIFs would. If I was them I would've just embedded this video from "Emacs Rocks!": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6h5dFyyUX0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D6h5dFyyUX0 It shows how incredible paredit is.
- losvedir 4y agoWow! That looks pretty amazing. Makes we wish I used both a lisp and emacs... Does anyone know if there is anything similar that works for non-lispy languages (using syntax like do/end, {}, etc?) and in VSCode?
