I think that by default, it shouldn't be affected by it either. See my > proposed solution in another e-mail. > So electric-indent-mode would still affect open-line, but not when open-line is run with point at column zero. Hmm. I think that's a good solution. I think that's pretty much the entire use case here. (I'd also be happy with open-line just having *no* electric indent behaviors, but that's a more complex discussion and probably wouldn't affect many use cases anyway.) Emacs is famous for making the right exceptions to otherwise consistent behaviors (the behavior of C-t at the end of a line is often held up as a classic example of this). This would be another instance of that, I guess. I'll happily make the change, but will wait to see if there's some consensus. -K > > John >
