can i use cursive to save and then paste canned code into the repl? for instance, a stub of a datomic query: (d/q '{:find [] :in [$] :where [[]]} db)

You can do that with Live Templates (in Preferences under the Editor). Not specific to Cursive but it does work in the REPL

@joshkh To answer your earlier question, sadly the package renaming doesn’t work correctly at the moment.

@lennart.buit I’d have to double check, but I don’t think Cursive’s current formatting allows that, no. It’s not hard to add though.

@joshkh manutter51 is right, that sounds like a job for live templates.

You’ll be able to set variables in the templates to tab between etc.

that's okay about the package renaming. one day. 🙂 and thanks @manutter51 for the tip.
