+** Key bindings
-Many programming modes, including most Skewer modes, use keybindings which
-overlap with SLIME's. To enable those bindings, thus shadowing SLIME's, you can
-use =(sps-shadow-slime-keybindings!)=.
+The traditional set of code evaluation key bindings is a poor fit for
+=sps-mode=, since they would shadow SLIME's equivalent commands and that's
+probably not what you want. That leaves us without a clear convention to
+follow, so by default we don't establish any key bindings at all. However, the
+function =sps-add-keys-with-prefix= will add two-key key bindings for all
+commands behind a prefix of your choice.
-However /this isn't recommended/. There's a good chance you'll want the
-flexibility to evaluate the code in an =sps-mode= buffer as either Common Lisp
-or Parenscript, in which case you won't want to shadow the SLIME keybindings.
-In this case you should assign key bindings yourself.
+For example:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(sps-add-keys-with-prefix "C-c C-e")
+;; The key sequence for sps-eval-region is "er", so it's now bound to
+;; "C-c C-e er"
+#+END_SRC
+
+The full list of key bindings =sps-add-keys-with-prefix= will establish is:
+
+ - =e RET= -- =sps-eval-sexp=
+ - =ee= -- =sps-eval-last-expression=
+ - =ed= -- =sps-eval-defun=
+ - =er= -- =sps-eval-region=
+ - =eb= -- =sps-eval-buffer=
+ - =e SPC= -- =sps-eval-dwim=
+ - =x RET= -- =sps-expand-sexp=
+ - =xe= -- =sps-expand-last-expression=
+ - =xd= -- =sps-expand-defun=
+ - =xr= -- =sps-expand-region=
+ - =xb= -- =sps-expand-buffer=
+ - =x SPC= -- =sps-expand-dwim=
+
+Evaluation commands begin with an "e", expansion commands with "x". The second
+letter is generally mnemonic but not always. The =-sexp= commands use =RET= in
+correspondence to =slime-expand-1=, and the =-dwim= commands use the space bar
+because it's easy and comfortable to hit.
+
+Please consider these keys provisional, and let me know if you have any ideas
+for improving the arrangement.
+
+If you really want to shadow SLIME's key bindings in buffers where =sps-mode= is
+active you could do something like this:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+(defun steal-slime-keys-for-sps! ()
+ ;; Don't affect all SLIME buffers, just where invoked
+ (make-local-variable 'slime-mode-map)
+ (let ((map slime-mode-map))
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-x C-e") nil)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-r") nil)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-M-x") nil)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-k") nil)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-m") nil))
+ (let ((map sps-mode-map))
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-x C-e") 'sps-eval-last-expression)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-r") 'sps-eval-region)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-M-x") 'sps-eval-defun)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-k") 'sps-eval-buffer)
+ (define-key map (kbd "C-c C-m") 'sps-expand-sexp)))
+
+(add-hook 'sps-mode-hook 'steal-slime-keys-for-sps!)
