So why did emacs flip RET and C-j with electric-indent-mode? It has
always been that typing RET in fundamental mode would insert a
newline. C-j would insert a newline and indent. This is now broken
in emacs24.4 and later. Now those two actions are reversed!
Aaarrrgghh!
Thanks so much Bob! ever since I upgraded my Emacs (a build for Mac OS X)
I was terribly annoyed by strange indentation behavior whenever
typing RET for example when editing commented parts in my custom file,
and I settled on doing C-qC-j -- didn't know about C-j by the way.
All this mystery vanishes after turning off electric-indent-mode!
I am not competent to say if the change was well grounded or not,
but it is very nice to know what I observed in disarray is explained
by electric-mode setting.
thanks again,
