Description of Problem: Redhat 7.3: emacs indentation in C mode incorrect. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): GNU Emacs 21.2.1 How Reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. use 'emacs foo.c' to edit a .c file. 2. within a function, hit tab to indent. 3. Actual Results: it indents 8 spaces. Expected Results: In C mode, indent 2 spaces, in each set of braces. On Redhat 7.2 and prior, (emacs 20.7.1), it does this. Additional Information: Thanks. Phil Kaslo phil.edu
The amounts of space and other behaviour are completely customizable - look at the info pages: hit "m CC Mode<ENTER>" for more information.
I (and the user here that reported the problem) tried alt-m m CC Mode<ENTER> and the response was No manual entry for CC Mode I copied the emacs binary and /usr/share/emacs/20.7 directory from Redhat 7.1 to his machine, now running 7.3. He's happy using that. Thanks. Phil Kaslo
Infopages are accessed through C-h i
'Control-h i' just moves me up one line in the file, and inserts the character i. Phil
Just run info - I'll stop here, this is a bug report facility, not a support channel. The above is not a bug, but a configuration issue.
Thanks. Phil
