Hi,

I want to customize the electric brace behaviour in C-mode. I looked 
through the threads of the last months, but did not find a matching subject.

1. When I define array constants, I do not want emacs to put the closing 
braces on an extra line, which it currently does. When I hit } after
int a[3] = { 1, 2, 3
the closing brace jumps to the next line. How can I switch this off?

2. After having typed
for (i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
I want that hitting the opening brace places it on the next line, then 
inserts an empty line and the closing brace, and places the cursor in 
between:
   {
     <point>
   }

Any suggestions for my .emacs?

Thanks,

Carsten
