Re: BASH script: Indent with tabs, align with spaces

Marc,

I think some correction of the implementation of the algorithm may be
necessary, otherwise editing existing code does not auto-align next
line.

Perhaps:

> if (Enter is pressed after a single backslash); then

^^ Currently that condition is checked through be the key mapping of
'\<cr>' but when editing existing code, pressing Enter after an
*existing* backslash does not run your function.

I don't know if it is possible to map the function to '<cr>', then
(considering how it currently works by copying the line) make it:

> go to new line
> preserve the indentation and alignment of the previous line

delete trailing backslash

> add spaces to align to the second word in the previous line
> # word: anything that is not white space
> fi

What do you think?
