Thanks for feedback.

It shows that we need to focus on polishing plugin and writing better documentation for it.

Odd… his version said it was 0.8.174, both before updating and after, but he definitely has a newer version now than he did before.

The Home key seems to work the way I wanted it to on his version of Eclipse (3.3.0 with the latest Cusp). It doesn’t on mine (3.2.2 with the latest Cusp). Maybe it’s the older version of Eclipse, I can’t tell at this point.

Hi Sergey,

Looks like the lack of Ctrl-N and P was because I had an old version of Cusp. Head Geek helped me get the latest using the Eclipse updater.

Cheers,
CC

Thanks for the info on the keys.

I don’t have a sample piece that gives me the null-pointer error at the moment, but next time I run into it, I’ll be sure to get a copy of it and (with the permission of Mr. Head Geek of course) paste it here.

“the java.lang.NullPointerException seems to happen when I have too many parentheses” : if you can give me sample code I’ll try to fix this error today

Just checked: Ctrl+N is default in Eclipse to create new file. We’ll probably need to change Ctrl+N to smth else in Cusp, although I already got used to it.

You can set key combinations for many Lisp actions (including Next/Previous REPL commands) in Window->Preferences->Keys

The history button works fine. Also, the java.lang.NullPointerException seems to happen when I have too many parentheses.

The following is printed in the REPL on startup:
“You are running SBCL 1.0.2.21 via Cusp v0.8.174″

Ctrl-P does nothing in my version, and Ctrl-N brings up Eclipse’s ‘New’ window.

I’m using Version: 3.3.0 of Eclipse.

I use and develop Cusp under Windows.
What version of cusp do you use? (what does it print in REPL on startup?)

The problem with java.lang.NullPointerException looks bad. I’ll try to fix it for 0.9 release.

Head Geek:

I remember that I was able to find a key combination to jump to REPL. Although I forgot what was that. I agree there should be more obvious way to discover it.

Refined behavior of Delete and Home keys are already on my TODO list.

C-Squared:
Ctrl+P and Ctrl+N to move through the history of commands you have sent in REPL
Also it has History button, so you can see all history

I have experienced compiling annoyance and removed one reason for it (problem was related to file permissions) but it looks like there are more cases when it happens. I’ll try to track them down.

Thanks for your feedback.
