Finding definitions (SLIME User Manual, version 2.28)

### 3.5 Finding definitions (“Meta-Point” commands).

The familiar `M-.` command is provided. For generic functions this command finds all methods, and with some systems it does other fancy things (like tracing structure accessors to their `DEFSTRUCT` definition).

`M-.` ¶
`M-x slime-edit-definition`

  Go to the definition of the symbol at point.

`M-,` ¶
`M-*`
`M-x slime-pop-find-definition-stack`

  Go back to the point where `M-.` was invoked. This gives multi-level backtracking when `M-.` has been used several times.

`C-x 4 .` ¶
`M-x slime-edit-definition-other-window`

  Like `slime-edit-definition` but switches to the other window to edit the definition in.

`C-x 5 .` ¶
`M-x slime-edit-definition-other-frame`

  Like `slime-edit-definition` but opens another frame to edit the definition in.

`M-x slime-edit-definition-with-etags` ¶

  Use an ETAGS table to find definition at point.
