t

Documentation

Controls whether RET (ielm-return) has intelligent behavior in IELM.

If nil, always insert newlines.

If point, insert newline if the point is in the middle of an sexp, otherwise evaluate input. This is useful if you have electric-pair-mode(var)/electric-pair-mode(fun), or a similar mode, enabled.

If any other non-nil value, insert newline for incomplete sexp input and evaluate input for complete sexps. This is similar to the behavior in text shells.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 31.1.
