How to disable auto new line in verilog mode in emacs

Question

Each time I want to post my question it always show the problem “Your post appears to contain code that is not properly formatted”, why this happens. I can only post my question as code. Sorry for the inconvenience.

 I am fairly new to emacs. Whenever I type a semicolon( ; ) in my verilog code, it puts a "new line" character automatically. How to disable this automatic entry of new-line character? I searched this question on google. Somebody answered "Hi Ravi, I am not sure which "mode file" you are using. If you are using the one from Mac (Verisity) then have a llok at the file "verilog-mode.el" You will see ; verilog-auto-newline t ; verilog-auto-indent-on-newline t (defcustom verilog-auto-newline t "t" means true, change it to "nil" and restart Emacs. Another way to do through GUI is On the menu bar you normally see a "special" pull down menu (if Verilog mode is loaded) named "Verilog". 1.> Click on the Pull Down Menu Verilog 2.> Click on "Custmoize Verilog Mode..." (should be last but one option in this menu) 3.> Then "open" the INDENT group 4.> Look for an option named "auto new line" and set this to nil. 5.> Save options.. Hope this helps. Good Luck, Srini " I modified my verilog-mode.el in ~/elisp, but it did not work. Auto new line still happens. And I can't find a verilog mode menu bar on emacs menu bar. Can somebody tell me how to show the verilog mode menu bar on my emacs? Many thanks. 

Answer 1

Try to add

(setq verilog-auto-newline nil)

in your ~/.emacs file?

Answer 2

My .emacs has this:

(defun my-verilog-hook ()
   ;; the (setq verilog-auto-indent-on-newline nil) below wasn't
   ;; stopping the auto indentation, but this does:
   (define-key verilog-mode-map "\r" nil))
(add-hook 'verilog-mode-hook 'my-verilog-hook)

And that seems to have fixed it for me.
