Absolutely true. M-q works nicely. But my fingers are slim and shapely;
they don't really need the extra exercise. {I can always use vi, if I need
a good finger work out.} ;)
Paul is also absolutely right that cc-mode controls comment indenting, I
must have actually read that auto-fill-mode stuff about cc-mode.
Any how, I found the source of my problem. As explained here
http://cc-mode.sourceforge.net/filladapt.php , it turns out that filladapt
needed a patch applied, and 'c-setup-filladapt had to be called.
Everything worked perfectly after that.
I also have this keybinding in my jde mode hook
(define-key c-mode-base-map [(return)] '(lambda ()
(interactive)
(c-indent-command)
(c-context-line-break)
))
Now 'return' actually starts a new line of comment when you're in a block
comment. Woo hoo!
If anyone is interested in similar auto-fill-mode setup for comments for all
other languages, I strongly urge you to check out tmmofl at
http://www.cs.man.ac.uk/~phillord/applications/emacs/emacs-packages.html .
Thanks for all your help.
