I'm using js2-mode for working with javascript in emacs and for the most part it's very useful. However, the indenting methods are terribly frustrating when working with jQuery, closures, and JSON... for instance, code that I wish to be indented like this:
var foo = jQuery('#mycontainer ul li').each(function(el){
var bar = el.html();
});
Turns out as:
var foo = jQuery('#mycontainer ul li').each(function(el){
var bar = el.html();
});
Is there a way I can just switch off all the indenting "helpers" and just have emacs insert N spaces when I hit the tab key? I know manual-indentation is a step backwards, but having readable code is, IMHO, more useful than a tool that doesn't work as expected.
I guess I will make this a full answer instead of a comment; espresso-mode is included with Emacs, and is designed to be a Javascript mode for Emacs (instead of a Javascript mode that happens to run inside of Emacs). It works like regular programming modes, and also happens to indent things the way you like.
