Re: Why flip RET and C-j with electric-indent-mode?

[Jim Fiocca <jfiocca0@gmail.com>]

Bob,

I am using C and C++ programming modes.  Previously whenever I typed an 
open curly brace, it would automatically indent to the correct column.  
Now, with electric-indent-mode nil, it just stays at column 1.  This has 
nothing to do with RET or ctrl-J.

Funny thing is, if I turn electric-indent-mode on and then off while in 
a C-mode buffer, it works fine.  I just can't automate it. Something 
wrong with the timing of turning it off globally or turning it off in my 
c-mode-hook in .emacs.

Thanks,
  Jim
