Re: While editing a CMake file, how to turn off smart indentation?

[Yaron Cohen-Tal <yaronct@gmail.com>]

Thanx guys,

The shortcuts to (un)indent 4 spaces work perfectly. What I still don't
manage is to make "RET" simply start a new line with indentation identical
to the previous line. In C++ mode I arranged it so behave this way. I tried
changing the code in "cmake-mode.el" from:

  (make-local-variable 'indent-line-function)
  (setq indent-line-function 'cmake-indent)

to:

  (make-local-variable 'indent-line-function)
  (setq indent-line-function 'c-indent-line-or-region)

Because "c-indent-line-or-region" is what's called when pressing TAB in C++
mode, and I want the same behavior. But instead, with CMake files, RET now
starts a new line with no indentation at all.

Btw u can get the "cmake-mode.el" file from the "cmake-data" package (in
Debian). I also uploaded it here
