Cider: Evaluate the form preceding point in the REPL

Question

In nREPL, the user could simply C-x C-e to evaluate the preceding form in the running REPL.

However, in Cider, it seems there is only a way to evaluate the form in the echo area or a popup buffer.

Is this really the case?

Please someone correct me, because this is a useful feature to lose.

Answer 1

I'm using nREPL and by default evals to echo area.

If you want to send the C-x C-e output to the running repl you can use both solutions on this question which are working quite fine for me.

Answer 2

I'm cider's maintainer and I can assure you C-x C-e's behaviour hasn't changed in quite some time. I'm also absolutely certain nothing was changed when I renamed nrepl.el to cider some time ago. I'm OK with implementing such feature if you need it, though. Just open a ticket on the issue tracker.

Answer 3

C-c M-e which is bound to cider-eval-last-sexp-to-repl will get the job done. My cider version is 0.16.0.
