xwl / electric-spacing Goto Github PK

Hi,

I'm using your package a few days. I like it a lot.
I'm trying accommodate the R style when using ess-mode in emacs. I'll ask you a pull request in the future.
When I was doing tests with the functionalities, I notice that comma isn't working as expected.
I did some tests and I conclude that this (?, . electric-spacing-\,) isn't calling electric-spacing-\, when , is pressed. As a prove, I replaced ?, by ?+ and commas with space were inserted when + were pressed. So, the problem is not about function implementation but key binding. Do you have any suggestion to fix this?

When I install from MELPA, the byte compiler reports unbalanced parentheses. Changing the new ?( to ?\( seems to fix the problem, although I couldn’t thoroughly test the solution.

Could you modify the behavior of inserting "=", so that there won't be space before "=" in "+=", "*=", "/="?

Hi,

I want to get:

[1,2,3][0:-1]

When I type this in with electric-spacing I get:

[1, 2, 3][0:- 1]

Thanks,
Rasmus

PS: Do you prefer the github tracker or report-emacs-bug?

inserts spaces after addressof ( &) operator in C.

Hi William,

As I told you, I was working to extend electric-spacing for the R coding style based on what you did for C++. I did this in a new file, ess-electric-spacings. I did some testing, it seems to be working well. Now I can submit a pull request but I was thinking if is better to put electric-spacing-* characters definitions in separated files, one for each mode/language, and keep generic functions (those in the top of file) in the electric-spacing.el. This way, electric-spacings-c++.el and electric-spacings-r.el would be created now. The main file would call one of the other files based on the current major mode. Moreover, in the future someone can easily add more extensions, like python and shell.

Bests.

It is annoying that spaces are also inserted around the dot "." in many modes (e.g., "ess-mode","py-python-shell-mode"). Is there a way to permanently disable it (preferably not editing the source)?

Thanks.

well-formatted python looks like this:

a = 1 * 2 + 3 *4
some_function(foo, bar, force=True, silent=True)

this mode currently changes the second line to

some_function(foo, bar, force = True, silent = True)

...which violates the pep8 style guide.
