As an Emacs beginner, I am working on writing a minor mode. My current (naive) method of programming elisp consists of making a change, closing out Emacs, restarting Emacs, and observing the change. How can I streamline this process? Is there a command to refresh everything?
You might try using M-C-x (
eval-defun), which will re-evaluate the top-level form around point. Unlike M-x eval-buffer or C-x C-e (exal-last-sexp), this will reset variables declared withdefvaranddefcustomto their initial values, which might be what’s tripping you up.
