How can I get paredit mode when doing eval-expression?

I love Emacs' paredit-mode, but I miss it very sorely when doing eval-expression (M-:). How can I have paredit in the minibuffer when doing eval-expression? Thanks!

Solution

  • Add a function to minibuffer-setup-hook, like so:

    (add-hook 'minibuffer-setup-hook 'conditionally-enable-paredit-mode)
(defun conditionally-enable-paredit-mode ()
  "enable paredit-mode during eval-expression"
  (if (eq this-command 'eval-expression)
      (paredit-mode 1)))
