Indentation command moves point

[doublep]

Place point at the end of any line. Press TAB. Point moves to the first non-whitespace character on that line (whether it has been reindented or not). This is unlike all standard Emacs modes and makes editing very annoying by breaking established habits.

I.e. (here @ denotes the point):

if (true)@

press TAB; becomes:

@if (true)

true. Unfortunately I don't really have the emacs know-how to address this immediately and likely won't in the near term. I suspect there's some block of code that should be wrapped in a save-excursion call but I'm unsure if that's the case and if it is, I'm unsure which code needs it.

As a quick check, can you let me know what function is being called when you press TAB? I'm using doom emacs and with or without evil mode enabled, tab just adds a tab character for me in kotlin-mode, it does not re-indent the line.

I'd, of course, be happy to look at any PRs with a fix.

It runs indent-for-tab-command here.

@gregghz By default Emacs calls indent-for-tab-command. One can temporarily disable all user and site packages and configuration to check upstream defaults by running emacs -q -Q.

I'd, of course, be happy to look at any PRs with a fix.

It looks like either #38 or #53 (both need rebasing) would resolve this bug.

fixed via #70
