indent-according-to-mode

[Gary Wessle]

hi

how can I get this function to work on a region? or the whole buffer?
I tried to mark a region and M-x indent-according-to-mode but did not
indent this c++ code.
C-M-q did not work either after I selected the region using M-h C-f
GNU Emacs 21.4.1

thanks

indent-according-to-mode is only for a line (check it out: C-h f when
the cursor is over the function name).

M-C-\ (C-h k M-C-\)

C-x h M-C-\

this in my .emacs is causing a problem, could you point it out?

thanks

(global-set-key [f5] (kbd "M-h M-C-\"))

You can do like this:
C-x ( M-h C-M-\ C-x )
C-x C-k b my-indent-paragraph
M-x insert-kbd-macro

The code will insert to current buffer:
(fset 'my-indent-paragraph
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p")
(kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("\350\234" 0 "%d")) arg)))

Then you can write this to .emacs:
(defun my-indent-paragraph (&optional arg)
  "Keyboard macro."
  (interactive "p")
  (kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("\350\234" 0 "%d")) arg)))
(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>") 'my-indent-region)

or just:
(global-set-key (kbd "<f5>")
   (lambda (&optional arg) "Keyboard macro." (interactive "p")
(kmacro-exec-ring-item (quote ("\350\234" 0 "%d")) arg)))

The backslash escapes the following double quote, so you've got an
unterminated string.  You need to escape the backslash with another
backslash:

(global-set-key [f5] (kbd "M-h M-C-\\"))

What is all that "\350\234" cruft?

Hi Gary Wessle-2.

I'm writing Linux kernel level c-code, and thus have to use Linux kernel
indentation (8 characters.) I'm using GNU Emacs 21.4.1, and the following
works for me. Write in the .emacs-file:

;; use Linux kernel style (indendation of 8 characters etc.) for all C like
languages.
(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
  (c-set-style "linux"))

;; Add a hook to common mode.
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)

;; Bind F5-key to indent a region of code according to the current
indentation style
(global-set-key [f5] 'indent-region)

Now in emacs you can indent a region by moving to the beginning of the
region and pressing CTRL + SPACE and then moving to the end of the region
and pressing F5.

Following indentation styles are available:
bsd, cc-mode, ellemtel, gnu, java, k&r, linux, python, stroustrup, user,
whitesmith.

Hope this was a useful piece of advice to you.
