Hello, I decided to start a new thread about this to give the subject a bit more visibility.
I have been working on a general revamp of beancount-mode to transform it into a major mode, mostly to enable better completion behavior. I open a pull request with the result of this work: https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/pull-requests/115/revamp-beancountel/diff I think I fixed all bugs reported so far and I would like some more extended testing. There are some significant changes in behavior: - It being a major mode now, composing it with org-mode is not possible anymore. I tried to preserve functionality adding integration with outline-minor-mode. To add sectioning functionality back you would need something like (define-key* beancount-mode-map (key "C-c C-n") #'outline-next-visible-heading) (define-key* beancount-mode-map (key "C-c C-p") #'outline-previous-visible-heading) (add-hook 'beancount-mode-hook #'outline-minor-mode) to your Emacs configuration. Recognized headings either start with three or more semicolons or with asterisks. As per Martin suggestion I implemented fontification of section headings a la org-mode. Please report any other missing functionality and I'll see how hard it is to bring it back. - "TAB" now either indents, completes, or folds the heading depending on the context. It works well for me. - amounts in postings are indented so that the decimal point is at the 52nd column. This can be configured customizing `beancount-number-alignment-column`. Setting it to 0 will cause the alignment column to be determined from file content. Postings in transactions are indented with `beancount-transaction-indent` spaces. - pressing "RETURN" on causes the current line to be re-indeted. If the current line is a posting, the amount will be indented as per above. This behavior is defined by Emacs auto indent mechanism. If you don't like it you can disable it setting `electric-indent-chars` to nil, for example like this (untested): (defun my-disable-electric-indent () (setq-local electric-indent-chars nil)) (add-hook 'beancount-mode-hook #'my-disable-electric-indent) Thank you for testing!
