OK, well I'm wondering if anyone remembers the keybinding M-RET (meta
return), within a semi-colon (;) comment, which used to wonderfully both
start a new line, but also continue the comment at the same indent
level, same number of leading semi-colons, with a space after. Example:
You're here, and your cursor is where the * is:
(defun foo ()
;; blah blah blah*
and you type M-RET. Next thing that happens is the cursor is on the next
line where the * is, and the lines then look like this:
(defun foo ()
;; blah blah blah
;; *
What happened to that functionality? I thought it was there for years,
I'm pretty sure on the Lisp Machine and I think for years in regular
Emacs in Lisp mode. It got ingrained in my fingers, and I often still
try it, but of course now all I get is: M-RET is undefined
Thank you.

Yes, there’s no other place.
