Ok, I will send a v2 with the rationale in the commit message if it's determined that the patch itself is ok. >> .dir-locals.el | 3 ++- >> 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/.dir-locals.el b/.dir-locals.el >> index 3ac0cfc6f0d6..8e47418c5996 100644 >> --- a/.dir-locals.el >> +++ b/.dir-locals.el >> @@ -1,2 +1,3 @@ >> ((c-mode .

I added (defvaralias 'c-basic-offset 'tab-width) to my configuration file following a suggestion from the "Indentation Basics" page of EmacsWiki¹, which is the first hit if you search for "emacs indentation width". Because of that, I assume a lot of people will have that option in their configuration file. If there are other settings that are common and also interfere with the stroustrup style I think it makes sense to include them in .dir-locals.el as well. -- Thiago Jung Bauermann IBM Linux Technology Center ¹ https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IndentationBasics
