Buffer Changed Definitions

Editor Command

: Argument: None
Key sequence: None
: Displays a list of definitions that have been changed in the current buffer during the current LispWorks session. All definitions that have been modified or created (but not deleted) are displayed in a File Contents Collection window. Modified text between definitions (i.e. comments) are also included. A prefix argument equal to the value ofPrefix-Argument-Default causes evaluation of definitions changed since last evaluated. A prefix argument of 1 causes evaluation of definitions changed since last saved.

Function Arglist

Editor Command

: Argument: function
Key sequence: += function
: Prints the arguments expected by function in the Echo Area. The symbol under the current point is offered as a default value for function. A prefix argument automatically causes this default value to be used.

Function Argument List

Editor Command

: Argument: function
Key sequence:Ctrl+Shift+A function
: Similar toFunctionArglist, except that the symbol at the head of the current form is offered as a default value for function, unless that symbol is a member of the listeditor:*find-likely-function-ignores* in which case the second symbol in the form is offered as the default. A prefix argument automatically causes this default value to be used.

Describe Class

Editor Command

: Argument: class
Key sequence: None
: Displays a description of class in a class description window. The symbol under the current point is offered as a default value for class. A prefix argument automatically causes this default value to be used.

Describe Generic Function

Editor Command

: Argument: function
Key sequence: None
: Displays a description of function in a Generic Function Description window. The symbol under the current point is offered as a default value for function. A prefix argument automatically causes this default value to be used.

Complete Symbol

Editor Command

: Argument: None
Key sequence: +Ctrl+I
: Attempts to complete the symbol before the current point. If the string to be completed is not unique, a list of possible completions is displayed in a popup window.
