On: Paredit 25 released, after 8 years

Do people have any tips on getting started with paredit in vim? I'm pretty happy with Parinfer but it sometimes makes working with other people's code painful...

I have a small section dedicated to Paredit in my Lisp in Vim post: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html

Direct link to the Paredit section: https://susam.net/blog/lisp-in-vim.html#get-started-with-par...

This section introduces only the most basic features like electric returns, regathering, slurping, barfing, etc. For a complete documentation of all the features, it is worth entering :help paredit-keys directly in Vim. The help manual is not too long. Takes about 30 to 40 minutes to read through it and try some of the commands that look interesting.

Thanks very much for your post once again. I just setup every lisp refer to yours even though I can recall every step you mentioned by now. Still such a great post.

But for paredit …

whilst it is useful when it is useful it is in the way when it is not. I find the best way is to use ; so to disable it and then edit and then re-enable it by erasing ; There is option to disable but need a few jkeysfroke. Hence ; all the time. The most annoying feature may I say.

Anyway just to say thanks thanks.
