9.8.3 Emacs Lisp Mode Differences

Emacs Lisp mode was designed to be used with code meant to run within Emacs itself, so it facilitates running the code you type. Lisp is an interpreted (as opposed to purely compiled) language, so it is possible to blur the line between the write and run/debug phases of Lisp programming; Emacs Lisp mode takes some advantage of this opportunity, whereas Lisp interaction mode goes even further, as we'll see later. In Emacs Lisp mode, the command C-M-x(eval-defun) picks up the function definition around or after the cursor and evaluates it, meaning that it parses the function and stores it so that Emacs "knows" about the function when you invoke it.

Emacs Lisp mode also includes the command M-Tab (for lisp-complete-symbol),[68] which performs completion on the symbol (variable, function name, etc.) preceding the cursor, as described in Chapter 14. Thus, you can type the shortest unambiguous prefix for the symbol, followed by M-Tab, and Emacs tries to complete the symbol's name for you as far as it can. If it completes the symbol name, you can go on with whatever you are doing. If it doesn't, you haven't provided an unambiguous prefix. You can type more characters (to disambiguate further), or you can type M-Tab again, and a help window showing the choices pops up. Then you can type more characters and complete the symbol yourself, or you can try for completion again.
