The main functionalities provided are: - - - Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module. - - Macro expansion. - - File/module loading. - - Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings, - names visible in the current module, and module names). - - Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of - the procedure/macro around point automatically. - - Jump to definition of identifier at point. - - Access to documentation (including docstrings when the - implementation provides it). - - Listings of identifiers exported by a given module. - - Listings of callers/callees of procedures. - - Rudimentary support for debugging (list of - evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode - buffer). - - NOTE: if you're not in a hurry, Geiser's website, - http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/ contains a nicer manual, also - included in Geiser tarballs as a texinfo file (doc/geiser.info). - -* Supported scheme implementations - - - Guile 2.0 (not released yet: use the latest git master branch). - - PLT Racket 5.0.1 or better. - -* Installation - Geiser can be used either directly from its uninstalled source tree - or byte-compiled and installed after perfoming the standard - configure/make/make install dance. - -*** In place - - Extract the tarball or clone the git repository anywhere in your - file system. Let's call that place <path-to-geiser>. - - In your .emacs: - - (load-file "<path-to-geiser>/elisp/geiser.el") - -*** Byte-compiled - - Create a build directory, `build', say: - $ cd <path-to-geiser> - $ mkdir build; cd build - - Configure and make: - $ ../configure && make - - Now, you can use the byte-compiled Geiser in place by adding to - your .emacs: - - (load "<path-to-geiser>/build/elisp/geiser-load") - - or, alternatively, install it with: - - $ make install - - (you might need to get root access, depending on your installation - directory) and, instead of the above load forms, require - 'geiser-install (not 'geiser, mind you) in your emacs - initialization file: - - (require 'geiser-install) - - You're ready to go! - -* Basic configuration - The loading invocations above install all supported Scheme - implementations. You can list explicitly the ones that you want by - setting the variable `geiser-impl-installed-implementations' *before* - loading geiser.el. For instance: - - (setq geiser-impl-installed-implementations '(racket guile)) - - On opening a scheme file, Geiser will try to guess its Scheme, - defaulting to the first in the list. Use `C-c C-s' to select the - implementation by hand (on a per file basis). - - Check the geiser customization group for some options with: - - M-x customize-group RET geiser RET - - In particular, customize `geiser-<impl>-binary', which should point - to an executable in your path. - - To start a REPL, M-x geiser. - -*** Completion with company-mode - Geiser offers identifier and module name completion, bound to - M-TAB and M-` respectively. Only names visible in the current - module are offered. - - While that is cool and all, things are even better: if you have - [[http://nschum.de/src/emacs/company-mode/][company-mode]] installed, Geiser's completion will use it. Just - require company-mode and, from then on, any new scheme buffer or - REPL will use it. If you didn't know about Nikolaj Schumacher's - awesome mode, check [[http://www.screentoaster.com/watch/stU0lSRERIR1pYRFVdXVlRVFFV/company_mode_for_gnu_emacs][this screencast]]. - -* Quick key reference - -*** In Scheme buffers: - - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-z | Switch to REPL | - | C-u C-c C-z | Switch to REPL and current module | - | C-c C-s | Specify Scheme implementation for buffer | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | M-. | Go to definition of identifier at point | - | M-, | Go back to where M-. was last invoked | - | C-c C-e m | Ask for a module and open its file | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-M-x | Eval definition around point | - | C-c M-e | Eval definition around point and switch to REPL | - | C-x C-e | Eval sexp before point | - | C-c C-r | Eval region | - | C-c M-r | Eval region and switch to REPL | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-m x | Macro-expand definition around point | - | C-c C-m e | Macro-expand sexp before point | - | C-c C-m r | Marcro-expand region | - | C-u C-c C-m [x,e,r] | (With prefix, macro expansions are recursive) | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-k | Compile and load current file | - | C-c C-l | Load current file | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-d d | See documentation for identifier at point | - | C-c C-d m | See a list of a module's exported identifiers | - | C-c C-d a | Toggle autodoc mode | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | C-c< | Show callers of procedure at point | - | C-c> | Show callees of procedure at point | - | C-c C-x f | See a generic's methods signatures | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - | M-TAB | Complete identifier at point | - | M-`, C-. | Complete module name at point | - | TAB | Complete identifier at point or indent | - | | (If `geiser-mode-smart-tab-p' is t) | - |---------------------+-------------------------------------------------| - -*** In the REPL - - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-z | Start Scheme REPL, or jump to previous buffer | - | C-c C-q | Kill Scheme process | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | M-. | Edit identifier at point | - | TAB, M-TAB | Complete identifier at point | - | M-`, C-. | Complete module name at point | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | M-p, M-n | Prompt history, matching current prefix | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-k | Nuke REPL: use it if the REPL becomes unresponsive | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-m | Set current module | - | C-c C-i | Import module into current namespace | - | C-c C-l | Load scheme file | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - | C-c C-d C-d | See documentation for symbol at point | - | C-c C-d C-m | See documentation for module | - | C-c C-d C-a | Toggle autodoc mode | - |-------------+----------------------------------------------------| - -*** In the documentation browser: - - |------------+----------------------------------------------| - | n, f | Next page | - | p, b | Previous page | - | TAB, S-TAB | Next/previous link | - | k | Kill current page and go to previous or next | - | g, r | Refresh page | - | c | Clear browsing history | - | ., M-. | Edit identifier at point | - | z | Switch to REPL | - | q | Bury buffer | - |------------+----------------------------------------------| - -*** In backtrace (evaluation/compile result) buffers: - - - TAB, M-TAB for error navigation. - - q to bury buffer. |
