Is there an emacs mode or Lisp-blob that lets you use TAB to go to the next n-col boundary, but expands the jump into spaces.
In emacs modes, TAB usually does all sorts of other snazzy things concerning layout, which I don't want. I just want something that behaves like old-fashioned TAB, but generates a file with spaces.
This should work:
;; tabs are evil, always use spaces instead (setq indent-tabs-mode nil)
;; in your haskell-mode-hook: (define-key haskell-mode-map [tab] 'indent-for-tab-command)
While we're on emacs... I know I can colour trailing whitespace differently, but that's just annoying. What I want is: on lines that I edit, remove the trailing whitespace (and if I undo the edit, put the whitespace back too). Is there something that does that? I couldn't find it. Cheers, Simon
