For (1) something like
(setq c-basic-offset 8
indent-tabs-mode t
c-insert-tab-function 'tab-to-tab-stop)
(setq c-syntactic-indentation nil) ; maybe, or maybe not this one
should be close to the behavior you're looking for.
For (2), try
(c-toggle-electric-state -1)
Thanks a lot for this information. I have taken your tips and done
additional online research. I came up with the following .emacs file for
this project that has absolutely horrid indentation and use of tabs:
(defun my-c-mode-common-hook ()
(c-toggle-electric-state -1)
(define-key c-mode-base-map (kbd "TAB") 'self-insert-command))
(add-hook 'c-mode-common-hook 'my-c-mode-common-hook)
Nerius,
That's great. I'm glad I was able to give you a starting point.
It almost behaves how I want now. I hit Tab, it creates a tab. It does not
start indenting stuff when I type a special character such as a paren or a
semicolon. However, there is still one thing needed to make it behave just
like Notepad. Let's say my cursor is positioned immediately following a tab
character. When I hit Backspace (I believe that causes a function
"backward-delete-char" to be called), it converts that tab character into a
bunch of spaces, then deletes the last space. I would really like Backspace
to just delete the tab character. Is there any way to do this? I suppose
I'd have to rebind Backspace to a function other than backward-delete-char,
but I'm not sure which function.
In C-mode, "C-h k DEL" tells me that DEL calls c-electric-backspace,
which in turn calls the function bound to c-backspace-function.
For me, c-backspace-function is bound to
backward-delete-char-untabify, which will convert a tab into a series
of spaces.
Maybe
(setq c-backspace-function 'backward-delete-char)
is what you're looking for.
