sh-newline-and-indent

sh-newline-and-indent

[Miles Bader]

In shell-script-mode, C-j is bound to `sh-newline-and-indent'.

However, sh-newline-and-indent seems to be a not-very-good function --
it doesn't actually do correct indentation, but rather just indents the
same as the previous line.  The normal `newline-and-indent' function
seems to work much better.

Is this function/binding a leftover from times when shell-script-mode
was not so good at indentation?  Should they be deleted?

Thanks,

-Miles

Sounds like it, yes,
