Did you check that? I did. I opened a testemacs.tex and said C-h v "electric-indent-mode". Here are the first few lines of the result. electric-indent-mode is a variable defined in ‘electric.el’. Its value is nil Original value was t Local in buffer testemacs.tex; global value is t That result looks sensible to me if it means that for .tex files it is nil, while for others it is t, maybe? This is part of my current .emacs: ;; Turn off auto indent in AUC TeX ;; https://tex.stackexchange.com/q/468047/339 ;; and https://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/30148 (defun remove-electric-indent-mode () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'remove-electric-indent-mode) (add-hook 'tex-mode-hook 'remove-electric-indent-mode) I ran 'emacs -Q' from the command line entered these lines in the buffer (defun remove-electric-indent-mode () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'remove-electric-indent-mode) and clicked on Lisp-Interaction > Evaluate defun. I got no errors. I then opened a .tex file. It had this, but with "test" immediately after \end{itemize}. When I hit <Enter> I got the "test" indented. xxxx \begin{itemize} \item \begin{itemize} \item \end{itemize} test \end{itemize} I put the the whole .emacs, below in case that is helpful, since it is only 41 lines. Other than that, I think I have a standard Ubuntu emacs setup.

How do I make that permanent? I think your current setup with `remove-electric-indent-mode' in `LaTeX-mode-hook' is OK. Therefore I asked: > With the setting above, what is the value of the variable > `electric-indent-mode' when you open a .tex file, nil or t? Did you check that? I suspect the problem is somewhere else in your setup. Maybe you want to start with 'emacs -Q', eval this (defun remove-electric-indent-mode () (electric-indent-local-mode -1)) (add-hook 'LaTeX-mode-hook 'remove-electric-indent-mode) and activate AUCTeX followed by opening a .tex file? So the standard debugging process, that should give you a clue. P.S. Please keep the mailing-list in CC, thanks. Best, Arash
