@c FIXME: `electric-indent-mode' is enabled by default in GNU Emacs 24.4.
A common problem is that the @key{RET} key does @emph{not} indent the
line to where the new text should go after inserting the newline. This
is because the standard Emacs convention is that @key{RET} (aka
@kbd{C-m}) just adds a newline, whereas @key{LFD} (aka @kbd{C-j}) adds a
newline and indents it. This is particularly inconvenient for users with
keyboards which do not have a special @key{LFD} key at all; in such
cases, it is typically more convenient to use @key{RET} as the @key{LFD}
key (rather than typing @kbd{C-j}).
You can make @key{RET} do this by adding
@lisp
(define-key octave-mode-map "\C-m"
'octave-reindent-then-newline-and-indent)
@end lisp
@noindent
to one of your Emacs startup files. Another, more generally applicable
solution is
@lisp
(defun RET-behaves-as-LFD ()
(let ((x (key-binding "\C-j")))
(local-set-key "\C-m" x)))
(add-hook 'octave-mode-hook 'RET-behaves-as-LFD)
@end lisp
@noindent
(this works for all modes by adding to the startup hooks, without
having to know the particular binding of @key{RET} in that mode!).
Similar considerations apply for using @key{M-RET} as @key{M-LFD}. As
@email{bwarsaw@@cnri.reston.va.us, Barry A. Warsaw} says in the
documentation for his @code{cc-mode}, ``This is a very common
question. @code{:-)} If you want this to be the default behavior,
don't lobby me, lobby RMS!''
The following variables can be used to customize Octave mode.
