Switching to the REPL
Although a REPL buffer is created it is not displayed by default.
My typical workflow is to evaluate functions and expressions within the Clojure code buffer itself.
| Spacemacs | Major mode | Emacs | Evil | Command | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
SPC m s s |
M-RET s s |
C-c C-z |

cider-switch-to-repl-buffer |
Switch to REPL buffers (when in a code buffer) |
SPC m s s |
M-RET s s |
C-c C-z |

cider-switch-to-last-clojure-buffer |
Switch to last active Clojure code buffer (when in REPL buffer) |
SPC m s S * |
M-RET s S * |
C-c M-n |
, s S * |
cider-repl-set-ns |
* Proposed change: Select a namespace and switch to it. |

Switch between CLJ & CLJS REPLs in current project |
- I've proposed a change to create a new menu entry for switching the repl to the current namespace of the code buffer,
cider-repl-set-ns: S - cider-repl-set-ns
Switching between Code & REPL
You can toggle between a Clojure code buffer and a REPL buffer with M-RET s s. As this is the same binding for both switching to a REPL and switching to the last code buffer, this enables you to toggle between the two quickly.

Select the REPL namespace
When in a Clojure code buffer you can switch the namespace of the REPL using cider-repl-set-ns.
With the REPL buffer active, cider-repl-set-ns will display a pop-up buffer and list all the available namespaces.
