Emacs bad indentation

Question

So I've decided to try emacs, and I find it really good. However, I'm mostly writing Python, so the indentation is a crucial thing for me. After couple of failures in configuring I've finally reached to the point when I press ENTER, it goes to new line and automatically indents it (with TAB - size 4). Okay. But lets say I've got a function and a loop inside it. If I want emacs to indent a for loop it does it not in a proper way (for me):

int main()
{
    for (int i=0; i<=10; i++)
        {
            printf("lol\n");
        }
}

cuz I want it to be:

int main()
{
    for (int i=0; i<=10; i++)
    {
        printf("lol\n");
    }
}

My .emacs file looks like this:

(load-theme `wombat)
(setq-default standard-indent 4)
(mouse-wheel-mode t)
(setq make-backup-files nil)
(line-number-mode 1)
(setq indent-size 4)
(setq-default tab-width 4)
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode t)
(setq-default indent-line-function 'insert-tab)
(defvaralias 'c-basic-offset 'tab-width)
(defvaralias 'cperl-indent-level 'tab-width)
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
  '("melpa" . "http://melpa.milkbox.net/packages/") t)

Is there a way I can configure this, to make it like I want it to be?

Answer 1

Yes. I met this problem before. Here, I recommend you to install a package named google-c-style. After finishing this, the only thing you should do is that put config below into your own init-file.

(require 'google-c-style) (defun my-c-mode-hook () (google-set-c-style) (setq c-basic-offset 4 indent-tabs-mode t default-tab-width 4)) (add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook) (add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'my-c-mode-hook)

It's my own config.

Additionally, I'm new for emacs two. It's so difficult to find a question that I can help. Thanks for your question!
