Geiser is a generic Emacs/Scheme interaction mode, featuring an enhanced REPL and a set of minor modes improving Emacs' basic scheme major mode. The main functionalities provided are:
- Evaluation of forms in the namespace of the current module.
- Macro expansion.
- File/module loading.
- Namespace-aware identifier completion (including local bindings,
names visible in the current module, and module names).
- Autodoc: the echo area shows information about the signature of
the procedure/macro around point automatically.
- Jump to definition of identifier at point.
- Access to documentation (including docstrings when the
implementation provides it).
- Listings of identifiers exported by a given module.
- Listings of callers/callees of procedures.
- Rudimentary support for debugging (list of
evaluation/compilation error in an Emacs' compilation-mode
buffer).
- Support for inline images in schemes, such as Racket, that treat
them as first order values.
NOTE: if you're not in a hurry, Geiser's website (http://www.nongnu.org/geiser/) contains a nicer manual, also included in Geiser tarballs as a texinfo file (doc/geiser.info).
Requirements
Geiser needs Emacs 23.2 or better, and at least one of the supported scheme implementations: - Guile 2.0 or better. - PLT Racket 6.0 or better. - Chicken 4.8.0 or better.
Installation
The easiest way is to use ELPA/Marmalade, and just type
M-x install-package RET geiser inside emacs.
Geiser can be used either directly from its uninstalled source tree or byte-compiled and installed after perfoming the standard configure/make/make install dance. See the INSTALL file for more details.
** Chicken Addendum These steps are necessary to fully support Chicken Scheme, but are not required for any other scheme.
- Install the necessary support eggs:
$ chicken-install -s apropos chicken-doc
- Update the Chicken documentation database:
$ cd `csi -p '(chicken-home)'`
$ curl http://3e8.org/pub/chicken-doc/chicken-doc-repo.tgz | sudo tar zx
The loading invocations above install all supported Scheme implementations. You can list explicitly the ones that you want by setting the variable `geiser-active-implementations' before loading geiser.el. For instance:
(setq geiser-active-implementations '(chicken guile))
On opening a scheme file, Geiser will try to guess its Scheme, defaulting to the first in the list. Use `C-c C-s' to select the implementation by hand (on a per file basis).
Check the geiser customization group for some options with:
M-x customize-group RET geiser RET
In particular, customize `geiser-
To start a REPL, M-x geiser.
** Completion with company-mode
Geiser offers identifier and module name completion, bound to
M-TAB and M-` respectively. Only names visible in the current
module are offered.
While that is cool and all, things are even better: if you have
company-mode (http://company-mode.github.io/) installed,
Geiser's completion will use it. Just require company-mode and,
from then on, any new scheme buffer or REPL will use it.
