After I posted this, I realized that it was a little silly to talk
about a Lisp editor mode without auto-indentation. It has been
added! The main caveat is it doesn't seem to handle multiple
unindents with the correctness I would like. For example:
(defn say-hi [n]
(println
(str "Hello, " n)))
; more code here
Obviously, the third line should result in two levels of
undindenting. However, due to limitations in the way that jEdit
handles auto-indenting, I don't think I can do both levels at once.
Specifically, the auto-indenting would assume that the "; more code
here" line should be indented at level 1, despite the fact that all
parens are closed by that point. It's possible that I may be able to
leverage jEdit's brace matching to unindent properly, but that will
require some more experimentation.
