Any *Doom Emacs* users use any safe structural editing modes here? If yes, how do you configure it?

I use doom. As for safe editing, I use it. I’ts pretty much auto configured. I added in my config the following:

(add-hook! smartparens-mode
  (evil-cleverparens-mode)
  (evil-unimpaired-mode)
  (smartparnes-strict-mode))

Since smartparens is enabled by default (AFAIK) Keep in mind that I’m an emacs noob so this my be overkill/incorrect - YMMV

would i need to install evil-cleverparens-mode for it?

dont think that exists by default? I too am just starting out with Doom

Yup - just add it to packages.el in your doom directory

I also added unimpared - you can just delete it if you don’t use it (it’s from my vim days)

I added (package! evil-cleverparens) in packages.el and

(add-hook! smartparens-mode
  (evil-cleverparens-mode)
  (smartparens-strict-mode))

what i want is the (spacemacs/toggle-evil-safe-lisp-structural-editing-on-register-hooks) like behaviour. But cant find its source to copy too 😕

after changing packages.el you should run doom upgrade and restart emacs in order to get your new packages

yeah i did that

I should not be able to delete closing parens, braces right?

do SPC h m and check if the mode is activated. and you can delete closing braces you just can't unbalance them using bulk delete commands like dd

ah, the mode is activated. the spacemacs one doesnt let me delete the closing ones in addition to this too. was hoping i can get that behavior here too

might be worth looking at what spacemacs uses for settings to get that

For me, deleting occurs, but it deletes both the opening AND the closing parens - thus keeping my s-expression balanced

@nirrub does it work for example in (def a (+ 1 2)) and I delete the ) after 2? The one before + is deleted too? Or only if the sexp is empty? The first case is not possible in spacemacs.

@corasaurus-hex that was my intent too. But failing to find where that could be defined

there's also lispy in doom, and there's evil-smartparens out there as well. you can explore to see what works how you want

Or I guess I will reset my head and muscles and just follow doom 😄 really liking its snappy speeds and lean features, specially compared to spacemacs. Thanks for the pointers @corasaurus-hex

no prob, glad to help!

Sounds like smart-parens is not in strict mode, if you can delete parens and leave them unbalanced.

After modifying config files you have to do doom refresh :)

@romain yes i did that pretty much after every change 🙂

@jr0cket where can i find the impl of (spacemacs/toggle-evil-safe-lisp-structural-editing-on-register-hooks) ?

@romain still I'm able to delete the closing braces and leave it unbalanced. These are all the changes I made in config.el:

(add-hook! smartparens-mode
  (smartparens-global-strict-mode))

I believe that toggle code is generated by other code, so no explicit code to copy.

ah okay

Are you deleting close parens in Evil insert mode or Evil normal mode

in insert mode

Very strange then. Unless something is broken with the package, then it sounds like something is conflicting with something else in doom or another package. I am just guessing now (not a doom user)

yeah im beginning to think so too. I have asked this on their discord channel now. fingers crossed! Thanks for the help @jr0cket

Maybe Try to reach henrik on doom’s discord?
