Suggestion Option-click close or hide on Hemlock window button would be useful. This to close or hide all windows of that type. Useful to clear clutter such as closing many inspector windows, or some other window of a type, but not closing any other windows. The same window type operations for any window type in the CCL API.

At the moment, option-click window close button closes all visible CCL windows. Unsure how this tallies with ​http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343

The instructions for rebuilding CCL from sources in this chapter section is missing a step or two that is required when one is installing CCL on certain ARM processors (e.g. ARMv6 used in Raspberry Pi).

cd lisp-kernel/linuxarm make clean make

This is due to differences in the instruction-set on different versions/models of the ARM processor, so some recompilation on the target architecture is necessary.

On a broader note, there are incomplete or obsolete instructions for installing CCL on the Raspberry Pi floating around on various forums/blogs. One high-pagerank example is:

This refers to the released version 1.9, that does not have a build fix that deals with soft v hard floating-point variants. As of this writing, you need to download and build trunk. Otherwise you have to fix/hardwire the build script as RME mentioned in the internal Clozure IRC a few days ago, to deal with floating point issues.

The blog entry mentions the make clean && make issue raised in this bug report, but it does not mention that you have to recompile from sources to get a fully functional CCL image.

Often I find myself with a billion utility windows (e.g. "Definitions of ...") in the IDE and I want to close them all at once to get rid of the clutter. But I don't want to close ALL the windows in the IDE.

When option key is held down while the red close box of a window is clicked, all the windows in the IDE shouldn't close, since that's kind of silly and useless with a development system. Instead, only the windows of the type clicked on should close. So if you option-close a Hemlock window, all the hemlock windows close but all the rest stay open. Likewise if you option-close on a listener window or a utility window (ns-window), or some newly-defined window class, only the windows of that class should close.
