insert new line at ";" C++

insert new line at ";" C++

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

On a dual boot box, in one OS, I have the C++ mode working as I like
it, but now I am working with another OS which has its own emacs.

I remember reading that it is best to customize emacs through its own
customization interface "M-x customize-variable..." rather than adding
lines in your .emacs file which so fare I have been successful in
doing until now. why, well, now I need to have emacs "in the C++" mode
to insert a new line once I type things like ")" "]" "}" ";" and the
like.
is there a way to do this without coping things from my old .emacs
file?

ok, here is my current .emacs file and below it is the section from my
old .emacs which does all the C++ goodies that I will eventually need
to incorporate into my new .emacs

Hi,

with this kind of questions:

in any case you could have a look at paredit.el
