<div dir="auto">Hi Mark,<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">Mark is right; paredit-mode binds paredit-reindent-defun to M-q, which calls either lisp-fill-paragraph (from lisp-mode.el) or indents the form, depending on whether you're in a comment or string. The string part is nice if you like docstrings with a fixed maximum width.</div><div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">-Sky</div><div dir="auto"><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Thu, Jun 21, 2018, 5:53 PM Mark Cox <<a href="mailto:markcox80@gmail.com">markcox80@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>G'day Mark,</div><div><br></div><div>I don't know the command you are after but paredit provides the command paredit-reindent-defun which is bound to M-q when in paredit mode.</div><div><br></div><div>You can invoke this command once your comment becomes too long to fit on one line.

<div><div style="font-family:Arial">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:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial">You're here, and your cursor is where the * is:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"> (defun foo ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"> ;; blah blah blah*<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial">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:<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"> (defun foo ()<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"> ;; blah blah blah<br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial"> ;; *</div>
<div><br></div>
<div style="font-family:Arial">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<br></div>
