RyanL Yeah, that advice seems to work as well.

Instead of a new line-killing function, try this simple advice and see if it works for you:

(defadvice kill-line (after fixup-whitespace activate)
“Call fixup-whitespace after killing line.”
(save-excursion
(if (looking-back “^\s*”)
(funcall indent-line-function)
(fixup-whitespace))))

Really excellent series of posts. Great content, great style, readable, brief, to the point.

Just added a note re the defadvices above to the wiki page, reproduced below for those who land here:

Note that mark-even-if-inactive is only useful/necessary/possible when transient mark mode is on (which is now the default). The line:

(let ((mark-even-if-inactive t))

would be better written:

(let ((mark-even-if-inactive transient-mark-mode))

so these cool defadvices can also be used successfully by those who prefer to disable transient mark mode (even when they occasionally enable it temporarily).
