18.9 Execute mode

The Listener is actually a special type of editor window, which is run in a mode known as execute mode . This means that, as well as the normal keyboard commands available to the editor, a number of additional commands are available which are especially useful when working interactively.

These commands are useful when you are repeating a series of similar commands:

    Press Alt+P or Ctrl+C Ctrl+P to display the previous event on the history list.

    Press Alt+N or Ctrl+C Ctrl+N to display the next event on the history list (this is not available if you are at the end of the history list).

    Press Alt+R or Ctrl+C Ctrl+R to perform a search of the history list.

    Press Ctrl+C Ctrl+F to get a list of items in the history.

    Press Ctrl+C Ctrl+I to inspect the current value (that is, the value of the Common Lisp variable * ).

    Press Alt+K to abandon the current input.

    Press Alt+Shift+B to get a backtrace in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+A to abort in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+C to continue in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+C to display the previous frame in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+N to display the nexy frame in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+E to edit the current frame in the debugger.

    Press Alt+Shift+V to print the variables of the current frame in the debugger.
