Hello! I use Copy as Kill to copy whole forms. However it does not work in library files because they are read only. Is there another solution? Perhaps it could be modified to work in these files? Thanks!

Hah, I never really understood what the use for copy as kill could be, thanks for the idea 🙂 I mostly use expand selection until I get what I want and normal copy

Someone somewhere talked about paredit/parinfer toggle being gone with 2020.1, and that it wasn't possible to find it in prefs either. Can't find the thread now, though. Any solution to this?

@cfleming alias doesn't seem to be interpreted correctly. It can't resolve s

@helios doesn’t s need to be a symbol?

i.e. 's

same for 'clojure.string

and reverse their order

whoops, thanks guys 🙂 In reality we have a macro that does the quoting automatically and that cursive can't really resolve well

(defmacro ns-alias
  "Set up a custom alias for use with namespace keywords.

  (ns-alias com.nextjournal.journal.system sys)"
  [ns as]
  `(do
     (create-ns '~ns)
     (alias '~as '~ns)))

and we use it as (ns-alias foo bar) since the quoting happens in the macro. But bar is unresolved

now that’s a horse of a different color

Yeah, there is a way to do custom resolution, but it needs to mirror clojure constructs.

e.g. you can do a custom let-like macro and make it resolve

so my advice would be to make your ns-alias macro take proper symbols

I would find that more idiomatic anyways.

you could also try reversing the order there and tell cursive to interpret it as the ns macro perhaps?

you might get better completions that way?

not sure, haven't tried

@imre yeah doesn’t appear to work

the first “symbol” is resolved properly, but the second is highlighted

:man-shrugging::skin-tone-3:

Yeah same. Probably best to just use symbols. Free-floating “symbols” are pretty bizarre in clojureland.

Cursive thinks a required namespace is unused when only used in a map with the namespace syntax. In the below example, foo is marked as "Unused alias".

(ns unused
  (:require
    [foo :as foo]))

#::foo{:a "a"}

@cfleming by default the REPL scrolls all the way down on a new result. When the result is long I often find myself scrolling up to where it started being printed. With a long REPL history, I sometimes can't easily find the beginning so I just clear the whole REPL and type *1 or eval again. This is definitely an anti-pattern. Is there a configuration setting to auto-scroll not to the bottom but to the top of the last REPL result?

Is there a way to rename a symbol to a namspaced symbol? As soon as I type the / I get that error message and the Refactor button disables.

Cursive doesn't appear to be indenting docstrings on def or defn correctly in cljs
