Hmph! Then I think I'll immediately bind return to newline-and-indent :-) Colin> I see it the other way around. 99% of the time that you hit <return> Colin> when writing code, the next key that you type is <tab>. Right. The real question behind this has actually been underlying in several other threads: assuming that 99% of the population does THIS, should the default be THIS and not THAT? Or the other way around, if we have 1% doing THAT (which is the default), do we have the right to fuck them up? -- / / _ _ Didier Verna http://www.inf.enst.fr/~verna/ - / / - / / /_/ / E.N.S.T.
