Greetings, all.
I'm in the process of switching back to GNUEmacs after many years of using
XEmacs, so I can take advantage of the Carbon GNU Emacs build on my Mac.
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1, based on the CVS version of June 16, 2006.
I'm seeing some undesired behavior in emacs-lisp mode that involves adaptive
fill, and I'm hoping someone can tell me how to fix this. As an example of
the problem, consider the following excerpt from my .emacs file:
;; override default binding of return as newline-and-indent, which is
;; distracting in text mode.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
'(lambda () (define-key text-mode-map (kbd "RET") 'newline)))
I have auto-fill and adaptive fill enabled but otherwise at their default
settings. The end of the (lambda ...) expression extends beyond my fill
column, so if I put point at the end of the line and hit space, it refills:
;; override default binding of return as newline-and-indent, which is
;; distracting in text mode.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook
'(lambda () (define-key text-mode-map (kbd "RET")
;; 'newline)))
That's not right -- it's commented out the end of the function, including
the close parens. Clearly adaptive fill is inferring the fill prefix
incorrectly. What I want to happen is for the 'newline))) to be
uncommented and appropriately indented -- 2 spaces in from the (define-key.
Is this a misconfiguration on my part, or am I stuck with this behavior?
Thanks,
Richard

This happens because `do-auto-fill' does a `backward-paragraph'
when you type the space, goes to the ";; override ..." and
detects an `adaptive-fill-regexp' there - the semicolon. Please
remove the semicolon from `adaptive-fill-regexp' (it's
customizable). If you want to modify this for emacs-lisp mode
only, consider doing this in `emacs-lisp-mode-hook'. If this
breaks comment filling, it might be necessary to change
`lisp-mode-auto-fill' appropriately.

Worked like a charm, thanks!
