Add-ons and modules

A thread to track add-ons and configurations that make working with Common Lisp in Jupyter Labs easier

Emacs keybinding in cells

This is tracked in jupyterlab/jupyterlab#3885. It looks as if the Jupyter Lab team intends in implementing this, but as of version 3.0.9 it is still not working.

An alternative may be to use jupyterlab-emacskeys, but extensions are reported broken in the issue above.

Swap ( and [ keys

Probably everyone programming in Lisp for any length of time has swapped these two keys. Shift + reaching for the top row is definitely inconvenient. The configuration behind this swap in Jupyter Lab is not obvious, and searching mostly produces information related to shortcuts. This might be one way, but I suspect the 'right' way has to do with the keymap.

Jupyter Lab Voyager

JupyterLab/Voyager seems like a useful add-on, however development has stalled. There have been no commits since August 2019, and it has been broken for more than a year on the recent versions of Jupyter Lab. The upstream Voyager project seems to have somewhat more activity.

EDIT: a few weeks ago, the Voyager folks wrote that the project is, essentially, dead. 26 April 2021 edit date. See vega/voyager#857
