Very new to emacs/spacemacs. (cursor indicated by | in below samples) I often find myself doing this: 1. I have a expr :

(defn example [val]
  (do "something")
  |(do "something else"))

2. press SPC k d x to delete the second expr :

(defn example [val]
  (do "something")
  |)

Is there a way to auto-fix (format) the entire expression afterwards? Right now what I do is d d at this point. It's not that troublesome, just wondering.

I use d d myself which automatically updates the formatting (assuming https://practical.li/spacemacs/structural-editing/cleverparens/) Otherwise I would save the file to update formatting (clojure-lsp format on save) or explicitly use the format menu, , = to format the file or a selected region. Or for this specific example,in normal mode k J to go up a line and join the next line to the current. The SPC k smartparens menu is very powerful, although many of its commands can also be done with vim-style normal mode commands if that edit g style is more familiar
