Ah it doesn't add the semi-colons.

I'm not at an Emacs right now, but does Ctrl-j not do what you want?

OK, well I'm wondering if anyone remembers the keybinding M-RET (meta return), within a semi-colon (;) comment, which used to wonderfully both start a new line, but also continue the comment at the same indent level, same number of leading semi-colons, with a space after. Example:
You're here, and your cursor is where the * is:
(defun foo () ;; blah blah blah*
and you type M-RET. Next thing that happens is the cursor is on the next line where the * is, and the lines then look like this:
(defun foo () ;; blah blah blah ;; *
What happened to that functionality? I thought it was there for years, I'm pretty sure on the Lisp Machine and I think for years in regular Emacs in Lisp mode. It got ingrained in my fingers, and I often still try it, but of course now all I get is: M-RET is undefined
Thank you.

Is there a mailing list to ask questions and make suggestions and talk about emacs lisp mode for pro Lispers? Would that be here perhaps?
Yes, there’s no other place.
