Starting a Clojure REPL

SPC f f to open a Clojure or ClojureScript file. Type the path and filename of the file (possible matches of existing files narrow as you type).

Now start either a Clojure or ClojureScript REPL

, ' or M-RET ' to start a Clojure repl.

, " or M-RET " to start a ClojureScript repl.

Evaluating code

In the Clojure or ClojureScript file you opened, you can evaluate specific expressions (any parts of the code in ()) or symbols.

, e f will evaluate the outer most expression and show the result inline.

, e ; will evaluate the outer most expression and show the result as a comment.

, e e will evaluate the last expression before the cursor position (eg. to the left or above).

Changing the REPL Namespace

, s n changes the namespace to that in the current code buffer
