GitHub - purcell/elisp-slime-nav: Slime-style navigation of Emacs Lisp source with M-. & M-, (original) (raw)
Slime-style navigation for Emacs Lisp
Slime allows very convenient navigation to the symbol at point (usingM-.), and the ability to pop back to previous marks (using M-,).
This plugin provides similar navigation for Emacs Lisp, supporting navigation to the definitions of variables, functions, libraries and faces.
Additionally, elisp-slime-nav provides a way to describe the symbol at point, whatever its type. As with slime-describe-symbol, this functionality is bound both to C-c C-d d and C-c C-d C-d by default.
