Function: electric-layout-mode

electric-layout-mode is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in electric.el.gz.

Signature

(electric-layout-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Automatically insert newlines around some chars.

The variable electric-layout-rules says when and how to insert newlines.

This is a global minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Electric-Layout mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate (default-value \=electric-layout-mode)'.

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.
