<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>
