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 Meta+P or Ctrl+C Ctrl+P to display the previous event on the history list. In Windows editor emulation, this History Previous command is bound to Ctrl+Up .

    Press Meta+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). In Windows editor emulation, this History Next command is bound to Ctrl+Down .

    Press Meta+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 Meta+K to abandon the current input.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

For more details about other keyboard commands available in the editor, see The Editor, and the Editor User Guide .
