hmm, I am already happy enough that I can set some key bindings and 
variables in my .emacs, this kind of stuff is probably beyond my el 
skills. Anyone feels challenged to code this?

Concerning my first question (quote):
1. When I define array constants, I do not want emacs to put the closing 
braces on an extra line, which it currently does. When I hit } after
int a[3] = { 1, 2, 3
the closing brace jumps to the next line. How can I switch this off?
(/quote)

This might be simple, any ideas?

Thanks,
