I'd _really_ like to keep my code in 80-column if I can help it.
I seriously doubt if messing with loop indentation is a good way to accomplish that
Agreed, but a lot of macro forms are indented nicely except for `loop'. (dotimes () ...) (dolist () ...) look a lot nicer than (loop ... ... ...) Maybe it's just me.
(setq lisp-simple-loop-indentation 2 lisp-loop-keyword-indentation 6 lisp-loop-forms-indentation 6)
Is what I keep in .emacs.
Setting them all to 2 might be to your taste.
Thanks for the tip. But it doesn't seem to work. Here's my .emacs (setq lisp-simple-loop-indentation 2 lisp-loop-keyword-indentation 2 lisp-loop-forms-indentation 2) (setq inferior-lisp-program "/usr/bin/sbcl") (require 'slime) I started emacs and then M-x slime to launch sbcl M-x slime-scratch and then type in the following _(loop for i from 1 upto 3 for x in '(a b c) collect (cons i x)) With the cursor at _ I pressed C-M-q indent-sexp and the result is (loop for i from 1 upto 3 for x in '(a b c) collect (cons i x)) Same result if I mark the region and then press C-M-\ indent-sexp I tried `Describe variable' on lisp-simple-loop-indentation, lisp-loop-keyword-indentation and lisp-loop-forms-indentation but there's no documentation for these. Are these slime specific or emacs only? BTW I'm using emacs 21.4, CVS slime and sbcl 0.9.14 on fedora4 Thanks, -- Mac
