I am not a fan of the way AUCTeX indent LaTeX code. Some time ago I asked for help in disabling indentation.

The solution provided there handles the large majority of my needs, but fails to prevent indentation of text inside brackets, such as for \footnote{text} or \textbf{something bold}. More specifically, if I have some text like this

Here is a paragraph which you should 
pretend\footnote{some stuff} has much
longer lines.

and then fill the paragraph, I often get something like the following

Here is a paragraph which you 
should pretend\footnote{some
  stuff} has much longer
lines.

I don't like the way the contents of the \footnote command are indented. Is there a simple way to disable this?

Reading the manual often helps: this is controlled by TeX-brace-indent-level.

User Option: TeX-brace-indent-level

Number of spaces to add to the indentation for each { not matched by a }.

Set it to 0 in your init file:

(setq TeX-brace-indent-level 0)
