Re: automatic indentation in C,C++ modes

[Greg Hill]

Tony,

It just takes more of the same, e.g.:

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook
         (function (lambda ()
                 (substitute-key-definition
                 'c-indent-command 'self-insert-command c-mode-map)
                 (substitute-key-definition
                 'c-electric-paren 'self-insert-command c-mode-map))))

M-x apropos
        c-electric

will give you a list of all the c-electric-  commands.  Just use 
substitute-key-definition in your c-mode-hook and c++-mode-hook 
lambdas to replace any of them that you don't want with 
self-insert-command.  If you want to keep the automatic indentation 
performed by the TAB key and ditch only the "electric" stuff, then 
just leave the substitution for c-indent-command out of your lambdas.
