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
