paredit paredit-kill

[slipset]

In emacs, there is a function paredit-kill which (according to docs):

Kill a line as if with ‘kill-line’, but respecting delimiters.
In a string, act exactly as ‘kill-line’ but do not kill past the
closing string delimiter.
On a line with no S-expressions on it starting after the point or
within a comment, act exactly as ‘kill-line’.
Otherwise, kill all S-expressions that start after the point.

This means that if you're inside an S-expression, you kill to the end of that S-epression.
ie if | is the cursor, (foo | bar baz qix), then invoking paredit-kill would give you (foo |)

Yes, I often see my Emacs wielding colleagues do that. Really cool.

For now in Calva, there is Kill Sexp Forward.

killListForward solves this problem :)

In all examples that follow, killListForward outcome would be (a|).
Whereas paredit-kill has different behavior in each (it's more granular in its effects).

Example 1 - s-expresions

(a| b (c
       d) e)

+ paredit-kill = (expressions starting on the current line past the cursor are killed)

(a| e)

Example 2 - comments

(a| ;; comment
  e)

+ paredit-kill = (comment killed)

(a|
   e)

Example 3 - newline

(a|
  e)

+ paredit-kill = (newline killed)

(a| e)

Nice examples!

Not sure why you want to dig up this old and fixed issue. Please file this as a new issue. And add this one example:

Example 4 - don't kill past end of list

(a| e)

+ paredit-kill = (rest of list killed)

(a|)
