[net.emacs] gnu emacs C mode

rusty@sdcarl.UUCP (rusty c. wright) (05/26/85)

I'd like to use emacs' C mode but it seems that i have to go
to extra trouble to use tabs when they aren't at the beginning
of a line.  for example i like to code my declarations as

	main(argc, argv)
		int			argc;
		char			**argv;
	{
		register struct foo	*fp;
		register struct bar	*bp;
		register int		i;

where there is one or more tabs in front of the variables so that
they all line up.  when i try to type a tab here the cursor just
stays there.  i finally discovered that i could use ctl-q ctl-i
but that is unreasonable.

is there some way i can get what i want? (be able to just use the
tab key in the middle of lines as well as at the beginning.)
