G'day.  I am a fan of `newline-and-indent', and turn it on for most of
the modes I routinely use, since it is almost always what I want done.

org-mode rebinds the "return" key to `org-return', which acts
intelligently in the face of tables -- and calls `newline' hard-coded in
other cases.

I would like to preserve that intelligence, but also to use
`newline-and-indent', so generated this patch to implement my desired
behaviour.

By default this changes nothing: org behaves exactly the same way as it
did previously.


If this isn't the right approach I am happy to rework the patch to
better match the rest of the software.


Finally, while I believe that this is a trivial change and will not need
assignment papers anyway I can note two things:

 * there are copyright assignments from me to the FSF on record already
   for Emacs and constituents, so I don't know if I need a new
   assignment.

 * I am happy to disclaim this if necessary.

Regards,
        Daniel

I think having a new option is not the best solution.  I would prefer to
preserve the distinction between the two commands (RET and C-j).

The patch below does this: define org-return-indent and bind it to C-j.
Whether you want to bind it to RET is up to you.

Thanks for pointing out this issue and for the patch!  I don't know what
Carsten will do with this, but having two solutions is certainly good :)

Best,

Well, the approach seems perfectly reasonable to me, and I can achieve
the same result; I fully support your approach.

Mmm.  I suspect that your approach is the better one; it is more in
keeping with the rest of Emacs, I think, and certainly achieves my goal.

Thanks,

If you have a past-and-future-changes assignment for Emacs, that
would be enough.  Please mail me a PDF copy of the assignment for
my records.  Thanks!

I will take Bastien's patch, thanks to both of you.
