; ...)
... or comment out only part of an s-expression, like this:
(foo x
; y
z)

Paredit forward slurp "C-)" does not work for emacs on Windows 7
After migrating to win7 paredit's forward slurp "C-)" no longer works and "C-right arrow" still works, rebinding the sexp to a different combination (such as C-0) works as well.
Does anyone have the same issue out there?

Changing Paredit Formatting
When using paredit in programming modes such as C, typing ( will insert a space before the paren when I'm trying to call a function, leaving me with:
foo ()
Is there a way to disable the insertion of the space without changing paredit's source?
