Hello,
How can I keep clisp from moving the cursor every time I type a
parenthesis? This feature is more user friendly than I want it
to be: I find this feature is not as helpful as it is distracting.
Personally I prefer to keep track of parentheses manually, rather
than waiting for clisp to place the cursor back where it was.
I really would like to disable this feature or nonfeature.
Thanks for your help,
Neil

http://clisp.cons.org/clreadline.html gives details about all of
CLISP's interactive line-editing capabilities. Look for
"blink-matching-paren".
Incidentally, you can just keep typing right through the blink process
without losing any input. Also, CLISP-specific questions are more
likely to get a response on the clisp-help mailing list. See
http://clisp.cons.org for details.

Then don't wait; keep typing!

Since clisp uses the readline library, chances are that the
configuration mechanisms for readline can influence its behavior.
RTFM!

See the clreadline manual page. If you don't have a ~/.inputrc file
you could create one that contains the line:
set blink-matching-paren off
Hope this helps.
