Hi,
I think I didn't state the issue clear in the post.

basicall for non c++/c files, RET behaves as expected, it does
'evil-ret'.

but in c++/c files, even in evil normal mode, RET would do
"new-line-indent", I guess the reason is cc-mode doesn't differentiate
the evil normal mode or insert mode.

Is there a way to make sure whatever major mode emacs is in, in evils
normal mode, 'RET' would not cause emacs go into insert mode?

Thank you!
