Hello.

Is there any downside to binding RET to org-return-and-maybe-indent?

I want to remove RET indentation in org mode. For example

# ---------------------------------------------------------------
* Demo of indentation
  - when I press return at the end of the word THIS
  - I get indentation
# ---------------------------------------------------------------

However, if I call org-return-and-maybe-indent at the same point, I do
not get indentation.

But would changing the binding of RET cause issues elsewhere?

I am running Org mode version 9.3.7 (release_9.3.7-694-g7069dc).

RET indentation is something that has been introduced recently on the
master branch (which will become Org 9.4 soon).  In Org 9.3, with your
example, RET does not indent, while C-j does.

As ORG-NEWS notes, if you want RET to stop indenting, you can disable
electric-indent-mode in org-mode-hook:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-mode -1)))
#+end_src

I can't think of any bad side-effect, but my imagination might be
lacking.  The only downside I can think of is that RET will become
redundant with C-j.

I was wondering why this bothered me! Such a little thing can have a
drastic effect on your workflow when it is repeated so many times.

Thanks, I now located this feature change description in ORG-NEWS.

Now I have two options. I will start by disabling electric-indent-mode
in org. If that causes weird side effects, then I will rebind RET.

Thank you for your most complete answer.

All the best, and stay safe.

Unfortunately this has side effects: it changes at least the way
parentheses and indentation interact when opening a Babel source code
block. It might be a good idea to mention this in ORG-NEWS.

Next I will try to change the binding of RET.

All the best, and stay safe.

Could you give us a precise recipe?  (Starting from emacs -Q and an
empty Org buffer)

I've fiddled a bit with source blocks just now and I'm noticing some
weirdness that I suspect might be due to electric-indent-mode
re-indenting the previous line when hitting RET (or C-j when disabling
electric-indent-mode), but nothing specific to parentheses.

Since I'm a bit pressed for time ATM it would help if you could give a
step-by-step explanation of what goes wrong.

At the minimum it changes the way parentheses indent automatically when
editing source code blocks. Below is a minimal demo, documented using
our favorite system.

All the best, and stay safe.

Jarmo

* Demo of the effect of disabling elint
  1. Save this org into file =org-elint-disable.org=
  2. Save the following elisp into =minimal-org.el=, replacing the
     location of org mode with your path:
     #+begin_src elisp
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/org-mode/lisp"))
       (add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/src/org-mode/contrib/lisp" t))
       (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-mode -1)))
     #+end_src
  3. Toggle the last line
     #+begin_src elisp
     (add-hook 'org-mode-hook (lambda () (electric-indent-mode -1)))
     #+end_src
     in =minimal-org.el= to see the following effect:
     1. Open this file with
        #+begin_src sh
	  emacs -Q -l minimal-org.el org-elint-disable.org
        #+end_src
     2. Type C-c ' for (org-edit-special) in the source code block below,
	and follow the instructions on the comment line.
	#+begin_src java :exports none :classname Demo
	  class Demo
	  {
	      // 1st press RET at the end of this line, then type TAB and }
	#+end_src

OK, here are my observations:

* Emacs 28, Org 9.3
  - RET: indented
  - TAB: nothing
  - }: de-indents
* Emacs 28, Org master, electric-indent-mode on
  - RET: indented
  - TAB: nothing
  - }: de-indents
* Emacs 28, Org master, electric-indent-mode off
  - RET: not indented
  - TAB: indents
  - }: does not indent

I think this is just because disabling electric-indent-mode is the wrong
thing to do: it should be electric-indent-local-mode.  The former
changes the default value of electric-indent-mode for *all buffers*,
whereas the intent is to only disable it in Org buffers; we don't want
to affect Org Src buffers…

If I replace (electric-indent-mode -1) with (electric-indent-local-mode
-1) in org-mode-hook, I get the behaviour we have with "Org 9.3" and
"Org master, electric-indent-mode on".

Can you tell me whether electric-indent-local-mode works better for you?
If it does, I'll followup with a patch to ORG-NEWS.

Seems to be working fine. Thank you very much.
