Pls give me a hint, dont how to start !? As a starting point you may use this (untested code): (defun format/align-and-newline () (interactive) (let* ((start (progn (beginning-of-line) (point))) (end (progn (end-of-line) (point))) (line (buffer-substring start end)) (words (split-string line))) (delete-region start end) (insert (first words)) (dolist (word (cdr words)) (insert (format "%*s%s" 6 "" word))) ; you want something else here. (insert "\n"))) (local-set-key (kbd "RET") (function format/align-and-newline)) -- __Pascal Bourguignon__ http://www.informatimago.com/ Cats meow out of angst "Thumbs! If only we had thumbs!
