emacs, narrow-to-defun, hs-show-block

Question

I have defined the following:

(defun narrow-into []
  (narrow-to-defun)
  (hs-show-block))
(define-key evil-normal-state-map (kbd "zi") 'narrow-into)

My Goal

The goal is that I can open up a file, hit "zi", and it will (1) narrow to the current defn and (2) open it up for editing.

My Problem

When I try to run it, I get "Wrong type argument: commandp, narrow-into"

Question

What am I doing wrong and how do I fix it?

You need to declare your function interactive if you want to call it interactively. That explains the error you are getting. Other than that, the brackets should be parens:

(defun narrow-into ()
  (interactive)
  (narrow-to-defun)
  (hs-show-block))

(interactive) fixed it! the [] was from me using Clojure just before – eav db Nov 10 '16 at 22:50
