Bug#466486: can't prevent indenting at newline when pasting

I don't know about Default_Emulation at all or how to fix it correctly? The advice in REDME.Debian is jed.rc user startup configuration (move the jed.rc from the examples/ here and modify to your needs) where the example file contains the code to select an emulation. A minimalistic jed.rc could look like: % load emulation require(emacs); %require(cua); % change keybindings setkey(newline_indent, ^M); % correct mouse-insertion problem Shouldn't Default_Emulation be set automatically set first with jed.rc user settings overriding any default settings? The problem is that: 1. Only *one* emulation file should be loaded - in order to speed up jed startup - to prevent incompatibilities, or definitions that are not overridden in a different emulation mode. 2. The emulation mode should be configurable by the user. 3. Jed needs to use a sensible emulation mode also if there is no user setting. The upstream solution is provide a fallback, if there is no indication that the user has choosen an emulation. To achieve this, an emulation mode sets the variable `_Jed_Emulation`. If this variable is not set, the mode defined in the variable `_Jed_Default_Emulation` is evaluated (naturally, this can only happen after evaluating jed.rc). (On Debian, `_Jed_Default_Emulation` is set in /etc/jed.d/05jed-common.sl and can be configured by the sysadmin.) I will update README.Debian and README.Debian-startup to make this more clear.

Actually, there is more:
Many editing modes (c_mode, slang_mode, perl_mode, php_mode, to name but a
few) bind the return key to newline_and_indent() in their local keymap.
Therefore you will need to change this binding in the global_mode_hook.
In your jed.rc, write e.g.
% fix staircase effect with mouse-pasting in an x-terminal
#ifndef XWINDOWS IBMPC_SYSTEM
define global_mode_hook (hook)
{
setkey(newline_indent, ^M);
}
#endif
or add the setkey() line to an already existing global_mode_hook()
definition.
I will update README.Debian and README.Debian-startup to make this more
clear.

(A1) This is basically a function to automate this task, recommended by the Jed author. You're right, it's probably the best workaround. Still not as convenient as just clicking the mouse button though :) A4 works nice here with !if (is_defined(x_server_vendor)) setkey(newline_indent, ^M); % correct mouse-insertion problem in a file called by ~/jed.rc and newline_indent defined in txtutils.sl from the jed-extra package. I installed jed-extra and tried this in ~/.jed/jed.rc, but it didn't help, not even with just setkey(newline_indent, ^M); on its own. What does HelpShow_Key return for the [Return] key after applying A3 or A4? With nothing set in jed.rc: Key ^M runs the internal function newline_and_indent With A3, setkey(newline, ^M); Key ^M runs the internal function newline_and_indent --- there's the problem, no change! Same again with A4, setkey(newline_indent,^M); It's like jed.rc is being completely ignored. It doesn't make a difference whether I'm trying to make the settings in ~/.jed/jed.rc, ~/.jedrc or even /etc/jed.d/99newline-noindent.sl :( Does it work if you put the code in a buffer and run M-x evalbuffer? Yes, that works! For both A3 and A4 (both versions). Can you test whether the ~/.jed/jed.rc file is evaluated? Apparently it is not, nor is /etc/jed.d.

Bug#466486: can't prevent indenting at newline when pasting
Package: jed
Version: 1:0.99.18+dfsg.1-9
Severity: normal
I use jed from a X terminal. When I copypaste with the mouse, the
text gets indented with each newline.
This problem is addressed in /usr/share/doc/jed/README.Debian, with a
variety of solutions offered.
A2: Temporarily change the keybinding by doing:
1. M-X local_setkey(newline,^M)
- this does work, thanks. But it's inconvenient to set manually like
this each time.
A3: Bind newline_and_indent to a different key. In jed.rc do e.g.:
setkey(newline_and_indent, \e^M); % Key_Alt_Return
setkey(newline, ^M);
A4: Use the fact that Jed can tell whether there is
input pending after the carriage return. Define in your jed.rc (or any
other file evaluated at startup):
public define newline_indent ()
{
if (input_pending(0))
newline();
else
call (newline_and_indent);
}
setkey(newline_indent,^M);
Neither of these solutions A3 or A4 work. I've tried placing either
of them in ~/.jedrc, moving that to ~/.jed/jed.rc, copying it to
/etc/jed.d/99newline-noindent.sl. Nothing works.
Could you review these instructions in README.Debian to confirm if
they are still valid, and provide corrected instructions?
Thanks,
Drew
