cl-autocorrect

Suggests corrections to your misspelled functions. Can be quickloaded from Ultralisp as "autocorrect". fuzzy-match is a dependency.

Setup

SLIME/Sly

Call the following function in your ~/.swank.lisp (for SLIME) or ~/.slynk.lisp (for Sly) file. (You should also load this system beforehand: e.g. (ql:quickload "autocorrect"))

SLIME:

(autocorrect:slime-install-autocorrect)

Sly:

(autocorrect:sly-install-autocorrect)

You will see a "Autocorrect hook installed!" among the other startup output in your inferior-lisp buffer.

It's not possible (to my knowledge) to install/remove this hook without restarting SLIME/Sly.

Command-line

It's enough to set the *debugger-hook* for the autocorrect to take effect. You can also add this to your .sbclrc (or equivalent) file to have it load on startup.

(setf *debugger-hook* #'autocorrect:autocorrecting-debugger)

Usage

Once the hook is in place, when you type in a misspelled function call you should see an autocorrect suggestion like this:

(FIST '(1 2))
=>
The function COMMON-LISP-USER::FIST is undefined.
   [Condition of type UNDEFINED-FUNCTION]

Restarts:
 0: [AUTOCORRECT] Replace the function with FIRST.
 1: [CONTINUE] Retry calling FIST.
 2: [USE-VALUE] Call specified function.
 3: [RETURN-VALUE] Return specified values.
 4: [RETURN-NOTHING] Return zero values.
 ...

Pressing 0 here will replace fist with first, returning 1 as the result.

Configuration

See the *correction-mode* variable.

Improvements/TODOs

• Maybe provide multiple autocorrect suggestions?
