Let's say I have this:

(defn -main [& args]
  (my-func|tion 5) (my-function-2 "hello")
  (third-function-of-mine nil))

where | is my cursor.

And I want to delete (my-function 5).

So in the end I will have this:

(defn -main [& args]
   | (my-function-2 "hello")
  (third-function-of-mine nil))

So basically I need to kill the whole function including the parentheses.

How to do that in Spacemacs or Emacs? I am using evil mode, but even if you are using the standard shortcuts any help is appreciated.

  • In this case, you can just delete the paren text object. Assuming standard keybindings, it would be da(. Commented Jul 13, 2022 at 15:18
  • C-M-u C-M-n C-w should do it with vanilla emacs. For the first two keybindings, see Moving in the Parenthesis Structure (or, better, read it in Emacs itself: C-h i g(emacs)RET i paren TAB should take you to the same section of the manual). The third, C-w, is the standard kill-region command. Commented Jul 13, 2022 at 15:39
