I would consider myself a fairly unserious paredit user and I still think it's immensely useful. The things I use most of the time are really just barf, slurp and splice yet it makes so much more sense to me now to think of S-expressions structurally rather than just editing text.
Both the advantage and disadvantage of lisp are its lack of structure and paredit forcing you to keep your code intact really prevents a ton of issues just by having it on.
- srcreigh 4y agoSame. I don’t even have shortcuts for paredit, I just M-X barf-forward- whatever (fuzzy find with selectrum) when I need it. The only paredit shortcut I know is M-s to remove a set of parens. That said I also use boon, which has some modal editing in particular a way to skip past an entire set of parens. To GP: Why not enable it just for sake of keeping your parens balanced. Make sure you have a good way to discover commands like selectrum. And tada. Don’t have to learn it all right away.
- hirple 4y agoSomewhat related - does anyone use meow + paredit? I can’t find a clearly recommended way to combine the two as I can with boon.
