bug#51459: 29.0.50; org-return and org-return-and-maybe-indent

[Andreas Röhler]

With cursor at EOL at some org-mode buffer with

* Foo

neither RET (org-return &optional INDENT ARG INTERACTIVE)
nor C-j (org-return-and-maybe-indent) does indent

Doing M-x electric-indent-mode RET don't change that.

When calling C-u RET, get "org--newline: Wrong type argument: 
number-or-marker-p, (4)"

When at start of second line now, TAB doesn't indent either.

When in init-file

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-mode -1)))
(setq org-adapt-indentation t)

C-j would indent.

However, IMO doesn't make sense to require these extra config in order
to get a reasonable behavior.

‘org-return-and-maybe-indent’ and ‘org-return’ should not provide the same,.

One of them should indent, suggesting that with "indent" in its name.

And everything hinges on what one finds "reasonable".

As discussed in bug#51167, in the wake of electric-indent-mode being
honored in Org 9.4, plenty of people have come to emacs-orgmode to
express that they did not expect RET to indent.  Thus Org maintainers
chose to change the default value of org-adapt-indentation for Org 9.5.

Note that by default (electric-indent-mode t, org-adapt-indentation nil)
RET *does* indent in some specific scenarios, e.g. "- list item RET"
will indent (resp. with electric-indent-mode nil, "- list item C-j"),
because Org assumes that you want to add a paragraph to your list item.

To recap:

- electric-indent-mode is enabled by default in Org, as it is globally
  in Emacs: hence RET indents, C-j does not.

- org-adapt-indentation tells Org whether you want your documents to be
  hard-indented or not: starting with 9.5, they won't be by default.

That does look like a bug, however.

bug#51459: C-u RET fails with "Wrong type argument" (was: bug#51459: 29.0.50; org-return and org-return-and-maybe-indent)

And it's not tied to Org, AFAICT.  C-u RET borks in fundamental-mode as
well, since ARG is (1) interactively obtained as a raw prefix argument
(2) used in a numeric comparison:

(defun newline (&optional arg interactive)
  […]
  (interactive "*P\np")
  (barf-if-buffer-read-only)
  (when (and arg
             (< arg 0))

IIUC this comparison comes from 2021-09-30 "Make `newline' check the
argument earlier" (d1aacceae9); Lars, should there be a
prefix-numeric-value or something thrown in there somewhere?

Yes indeed.  This should now be fixed in emacs-28.

Censored as bug was making RET und C-j behave likewise, i.e. not 
indenting either.
