Hi,
When I press tab in emacs (while editing an c++ file), it indents the
current line. Very good!
I was wondering if maybe emacs could do even more. Look at this example:
What if pressing tab on something like this:
LongTypeName a;
int b; //<-press tab on this line
Would result in:
LongTypeName a;
int b;
Like running astyle. But only the current line is changed.
I do not want to change the whole buffer, just the current line.
I also do not want to select a region for this. Just press tab, like I do
when I want indention.
Is this possible?
Thanks!
Nathan

If you are looking for alignment of assignments, try M-x align-
current
It works on the current section, I think that's what you want.
Have a look on the emacs wiki, in CategoryAlignment, for more details.
