One problem I have is indenting code. I have my own indentation style. and ideally I would like to setup emacs to support it automatically. However, in the short term I'll settle for having emacs convert a TAB keypress into the correct number of spaces to fill whitespace up to the next tabstop. At the moment I have (global-set-key (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command) in my .emacs to force insertion of a tab, but I have to keep invoking untabify manually (otherwise my code looks misaligned when I upload it to Google Code). Can anyone help. Chris Gordon-Smith www.simsoup.info
