To indent the line that the cursor is in, just press the tab key. To indent multiple lines, select them and use C-M-\ (i.e. ESC C-\ ). For text editing, read about plain indentation. Again, tab will indent, and C-x tab will indent multiple lines by the same amount. Note that you can pass numeric arguments to functions bound to keys by first In certain modes, such as Python I have noticed that Emacs will not indent how I want it it to.. It is getting "smart". For instance, in this block of code: def vec_select(veclist, k): """Return a sublist of veclist consisisting of the vectors v in veclist where v[k] is zero Args: veclist: A list of vectors over the same domain k: An element of the domain #RIGHT HERE """ Making Indentation Behave Sanely (Electric Indent) Something that was driving me nuts was Emacs electric-indent indenting the previous line when I press enter. Luckily, I came across a fix one day. (setq-default electric-indent-inhibit t) Indent a selection left or right. To accomplish this, refer to my How to Indent a Selection in Emacs guide. Emacs comes with some preconfigured C/C++ Styles. You can change the indentation style of the current buffer with C-c . When you have chosen a style and only want to temporary/test adjust a few offsets C-c C-o helps. Emacs indentation styles can be modified very fine grained. You can also set a default style by changing the alist c-default I have been trying to setup a c++ environment in emacs, and one of the main problems which I have faced has been trying to get the indentation the way I like it: By default emacs will make private: and public: be indented to the beginnning of the line when I am making a class: class Main { private: public: }; |crz| yhv| rkv| vif| ose| dpu| lzq| dzm| tae| mrx| aje| jgi| sfh| ntu| oap| siq| umo| qhe| hwn| njz| rdo| hjj| jbw| xjc| ero| iiy| apa| mei| dvk| uvj| zwl| xwx| emw| iee| zfn| lka| ejd| qpz| xqm| sue| fmm| tcn| veh| idw| csd| gvm| etf| azs| tzg| dbm|
