Is there a reason Paredit’s join and raise fns aren’t supported? There’s no reference in the Calva Paredit keymap, and I see some commented-out lines in calva/paredit/extension.ts.

@kingmob , it is a long story. 😀 Remind me to answer this, please. I can't right now.

Right, so maybe I have some time now. @kingmob, the reason is that Calva uses paredit.js in the editors, and it does not have a very rich set of Paredit features. For the REPL window we have written a new Paredit ”engine”, which is more feature complete. So, in the REPL window you actually can do both join (`alt+shift+j`) and raise (`alt+r`). But at least the latter feels a bit buggy to me. The commented-out lines you find are a paused effort to start using the new Paredit engine in the editor.

hihi 😄

@pez: I was tryin' to help someone out and we ran into this again today https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/issues/205

any updates on what to do about this when we install clojure with the instructions on https://clojure.org (specifically: https://github.com/clojure/tools.deps.alpha/wiki/clj-on-Windows#install)?

@pez I understand that you and many others like auto-insertion of brackets, but FWIW teaching programming has long been my day job, and I don't think I have ever taught a class using a tool that auto-inserts brackets in which this hasn't been a pain point for a significant subset of the students. I also understand that the bug preventing turning this off without editing config files (another pain point) is VSCode's and not yours, but (again, just FWIW) I doubt my experience on this is unique, particularly for people teaching new programmers.
