Indent Emacs Lisp on the fly
Install the package from MELPA and add (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook #'el-fly-indent-mode) to your ~/.emacs file.
This minor mode toggles on along with elisp-mode and indents on the fly when you edit the code. No special key strokes needed.
- The indenting command modifies match data, so if you have to use the match data to edit the buffer(for example globally replacing some string), toggle the mode off with
M-x (el-fly-indent-mode)before you do that.
