I use the first 2 keybindings you mention only with emacs lisp; the other 3 I had to look up.

I get a lot of milage from these:

  C-c C-c ;; slime-compile-defun
  C-c C-k ;; slime-compile-and-load-file
  C-c C-j ;; slime-eval-last-expression-in-repl
  C-c C-y ;; slime-call-defun

... with C-c C-c probably the one I use the most, and it's pretty easy on the hands.

Even the documentation is wrong. For C-c C-c

The name slime-compile-defun indicates that it compiles DEFUN forms.

It actually compiles AND executes top-level forms.

The name is misleading. The document omits the part about executing top level forms. It does mention compiling them, though:

"[...] Compile the current toplevel form.

With (positive) prefix argument the form is compiled with maximal debug settings (‘C-u’). With negative prefix argument it is compiled for speed (‘M--’). If a numeric argument is passed set debug or speed settings to it depending on its sign."
