Mode specific re-binding of the enter key

Mode specific re-binding of the enter key

[Blake McBride]

Greetings,

I am using GNU Emacs 21.3.  Normally the return key ("RET") is bound to
"newline".  I globally re-bound RET to newline-and-indent because I prefered
this behavior in C-Mode.  The problem is that I don't like
"newline-and-indent" in other modes such as text mode.  I'd like to go back
to the default behavior of RET to be "newline" and that only in C-Mode files
it would be bound to "newline-and-indent".  I've tried numerous approaches
to do this but was unable.  Any help would be appreciated.

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            (local-set-key (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent)))

or:

(define-key c-mode-base-map (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent)


or, if cc-mode hasn't been loaded:

(eval-after-load 'cc-mode
  '(define-key c-mode-base-map (kbd "RET") 'newline-and-indent))
