indenting keyword arguments so far

indenting keyword arguments so far

[Tamas K Papp]

Hi asked this on c.l.l, but didn't find a solution, so I thought I would 
ask here.  I would like my Common Lisp code to be indented properly.

Suppose I type

(foo :a a :b b
:c c :d :e e
:f f :g g)

into a Lisp buffer (keyword names are deliberately short, but imagine they
would not fit on a line).  C-M-q gives

(foo :a a :b b
	  :c c :d d :e e
	  :f f :g g)

Pressing Tab gives

(foo :a a :b b
	  :c c :d d :e e
		    :f f :g g)

What I would prefer is something like

(foo :a a :b b
     :c c :d d :e e
     :f f :g g)

Others on c.l.l claim it works properly for them, but not for me.  I am 
using Emacs 23.0.0.1, with the following settings:

C-M-q runs the command indent-sexp
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `lisp-mode.el'.

TAB (translated from <tab>) runs the command lisp-indent-line
  which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `lisp-mode.el'.

lisp-indent-function is a variable defined in `lisp-mode.el'.
Its value is 
common-lisp-indent-function
Local in buffer foo.lisp; global value is 
lisp-indent-function

(symbol-plist 'common-lisp-indent-function) gives nil.

From the comments of others, I am under the impression that what I want 
should work out of the box, but it doesn't.  Please help me find out 
why...

Thanks,

Tamas

Hi,
it seem `common-lisp-indent-function' is set for lisp-mode, and
emacs-lisp-mode overhide this settings.
How did you set lisp-indent-function ? (with a hook may be?)
if you just set it with:
,----
| (setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function)
`----
you will have this setting both for emacs-lisp and cl.
The property lists will be indented correctly but you will lost
the if emacs-lisp indentation: 

,----
| (if A
|     t
|     nil)
`----

instead of

,----
| (if A
|     t
|   nil)
`----

is it a problem?

have you tried starting emacs with either the -q (no ~/.emacs or
default.el) or -Q (no site-start.el either) switch and see if it works
then? if it does, go through your config files with a fine comb.

I tried M-: (setq lisp-indent-function 'common-lisp-indent-function), but 
it changed nothing about the indentation of foo above.

I tried both -q and -Q, and it changed nothing about the indentation of 
foo in the original example.  Weird.  Maybe I will try to compile the 
latest emacs snapshot...

You can try to write this code in your .emacs and restart emacs.
It would work.
