common-lisp-modes-mode (clmm for short) is a minor mode that can be used to enable functionality that is common across many lisps via a common hook.
The idea is to set all common features via the common-lisp-modes-mode-hook and then enable common-lisp-modes-mode in a major mode hook for a given lisp mode.
For REPL-specific features that may not be wanted in source code editing buffers, this package also provides a common-repl-modes-mode.
Install this package either by using something like straight.el or manually putting region-bindings.el to your load path.
Then require the package and enable the mode globally, or use use-package:
(use-package common-lisp-modes)Unfortunately, the lisp-mode is made specifically for editing Common Lisp code, so all other lisp modes mostly inherit from prog-mode.
This makes it harder to enable common features, because prog-mode-hook is too broad for enabling something like paredit, and other lisp-related packages.
There are also various REPL-related modes that mostly inherit from comint-mode, but comint is used for non-lisp stuff as well, which makes the comint-mode-hook not feasible as well.
So, instead of repeating all common hooks for every lisp, these can be set as a part of common-lisp-modes-mode-hook, and common-lisp-modes-mode can be added to a major mode hook instead.
One can set paredit and isayt-mode to the common-lisp-modes-mode-hook, and then turn common-lisp-modes-mode in a major mode hook for a given lisp:
(add-hook 'common-lisp-modes-mode-hook 'paredit-mode)
(add-hook 'common-lisp-modes-mode-hook 'isayt-mode)Now, these modes can be enabled by simply enabling clmm:
(dolist (hook '(common-lisp-mode-hook
clojure-mode-hook
cider-repl-mode
racket-mode-hook
eshell-mode-hook
eval-expression-minibuffer-setup-hook))
(add-hook hook 'common-lisp-modes-mode))Please do. Read the contribution guide for more information.
