When I define a function in Emacs Lisp mode, you can evaluate it with moving the pointer to the last parenthese of a function, and do C-xC-e. Aka calling eval-last-sexp.

I thought this is somewhat a cumbersome. So I bound the key C-e to eval-defun. So every time you define a new setq definition or a function, you can evaluate it with eval-defun without the need to move your pointer to the latest parenthese first.

Now I'm trying Clojure in pair with CIDER. I noticed you need to move to the latest parenthese and then call cider-eval-last-sexp. I would like to eval the current function/whatever where my cursor is, where the pointer is.

But I couldn't find any Clojure/Cider alternative for ELisp's eval-defun. Any suggestion for a function would be appreciated.

C-M-x does the right thing in Clojure buffers for me after spawning a REPL. To look up what command is bound to it, use F1 k <key sequence> and you'd find out that it's cider-eval-defun-at-point.

  • Never discovered the C-M-x and thus cider-eval-defun-at-point. Thanks for your answer!
