using mnemonic key bindings.

Configuration
Install
Package manager
You can either install evil-lisp-state from MELPA:
M-x package-install evil-lisp-state
Or add it to your Cask file:
(source melpa)
(depends-on "evil-lisp-state")
Manually
Add evil-lisp-state.el to your load path. evil-lisp-state requires
both evil, bind-map and smartparens to be installed.
Principle
To execute a command while in normal state, a leader key is used.
The leader has to be defined with the function evil-lisp-state-leader.
By default any command when executed sets the current state to lisp state.
Examples:
to slurp three times while in normal state:
3 s
to wrap a symbol in parenthesis then slurping two times:
w 2 s

Configuration
No default binding comes with the package, you have to explicitly
bind the lisp state to a key with the function evil-lisp-state-leader
For instance:
(evil-lisp-state-leader ", l")
Key bindings are set only for emacs-lisp-mode by default. It is possible to
add major modes with the variable `evil-lisp-state-major-modes'.
It is also possible to define the key bindings globally by setting
evil-lisp-state-global to t. In this case `evil-lisp-state-major-modes' has no
effect.
If you don't want commands to enter in lisp state by default set the variable
evil-lisp-state-enter-lisp-state-on-command to nil. Then use the
. to enter manually in lisp state
