Subject: Re: yank without indentation?
Date: Thu, 5 Jun 2014 15:25:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAA6UvuFa_a-yiiOPvcKcsXyq+BOBz63dW-Szf-X8RobwxLRcMA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <87oay7v179.fsf@ericabrahamsen.net>

I run in to this problem sometimes when yanking a piece of code with
certain indentation into a new place where it should have different (more
or less) indentation. My solution is:

C-y
C-x C-x (exchange-point-and-mark) to re-highlight the yanked text
<TAB> to properly indent it for the new contexxt
