Set `electric-indent-inhibit` to t.
Tho if it's only for the cases where Emacs's choice of indentation is
wrong, I think a better course of action might be:
- Use `C-q C-j` instead of RET the rare times it's necessary.
- If it's not rare (or if it's an indentation bug rather than
a question of style), submit a bug report to the major
mode's maintainers.
For modes using SMIE you can also add a comment with the word
"fixindent" in it to tell the auto-indentation that it shouldn't touch
this line (this is also obeyed by `indent-region`, etc...).
It's not a very elegant solution, admittedly.
Stefan
