hello folks! is there a premade predicate in elisp to identify top-level sexp?

actually a list would do too

uhm, maybe i can use read and if use listp

@richiardiandrea : does searching for ^( work? Earlier, I was writing t ahot key for "move to start of top level sexp"

@richiardiandrea: Have a look at C-h f beginning-of-defun and C-h f beginning-of-defun-raw. If you can’t use them as functions you should be able to see how they find a top-level sexp at least.

@amdt thanks true that!

if I do (re-search-forward "/\\*\\|\\*/" nil 'move) and the result is 3, shouldn't I see the curson in the buffer moving? Does it work like this in ielm?
