Subject: bug#5586: 23.1.92.1; Electric indentation and hungry backspace deletion in JavaScript mode (js-mode)
Date: Wed, 17 Feb 2010 00:31:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201002170031.46472.pogonyshev@gmx.net> (raw)

Package: emacs
Severity: wishlist

JavaScript is quite similar in syntax to C-like languages (Java, C++
etc.), so it's natural to use the same editing techniques for it.  It
would be nice if Emacs gave JS mode a more "familiar" feel.

For me, the most wanted features are electric indentation and hungry
backspace.  I.e. when typing '{', '(' or a similar control character
the current line would be automatically reindented.  And backspace
would delete all space characters to the left of the point, not just
one.

Paul
