# speed-of-thought-lisp
-Write elisp at the speed of thought. Emacs minor mode with abbrevs and keybinds.
+Write emacs-lisp at the speed of thought.
+
+This defines a new global minor-mode `speed-of-thought-mode`, which
+activates locally on any supported buffer. Currently, only
+`emacs-lisp-mode` buffers are supported.
+
+The mode is quite simple, and is composed of two parts:
+
+## Abbrevs
+
+A large number of abbrevs which expand function
+initials to their name. A few examples:
+
+- `wcb` -> `with-current-buffer`
+- `i` -> `insert`
+- `r` -> `require '`
+- `a` -> `and`
+
+However, these are defined in a way such that they ONLY expand in a
+place where you would use a function, so hitting SPC after `(r`
+expands to `(require '`, but hitting SPC after `(delete-region r` will
+NOT expand the `r`, because that's obviously not a function.
+Furtheromre, `#'r` will expand to `#'require` (note how it ommits that
+extra quote, since it would be useless here).
+
+## Commands
+
+It also defines 4 commands, which really fit into this "follow the
+thought-flow" way of writing. The bindings are as follows, I
+understand these don't fully adhere to conventions, and I'd
+appreaciate suggestions on better bindings.
+
+- `M-RET` :: Break line, and insert "()" with point in the middle.
+- `C-RET` :: Do `forward-up-list', then do M-RET.
+
+Hitting RET followed by a `(' was one of the most common key sequences
+for me while writing elisp, so giving it a quick-to-hit key was a
+significant improvement.
+
+- `C-c f` :: Find function under point. If it is not defined, create a
+definition for it below the current function and leave point inside.
+- `C-c v` :: Same, but for variable.
+
+With these commands, you just write your code as you think of it. Once
+you hit a "stop-point" of sorts in your tought flow, you hit `C-c f/v`
+on any undefined functions/variables, write their definitions, and hit
+`C-u C-SPC` to go back to the main function.
+
+## Small Example
+
+With the above (assuming you use something like paredit or
+electric-pair-mode), if you write:
+
+ ( w t b M-RET i SPC text
+
+You get
+
+ (with-temp-buffer (insert text))
