Feature Request: An easy fix for multiline comments

General
1

I can see that previous requests for multiline comments have been denied but I was just using another IDE and it did this without me expecting it… and it was awesome!

If I’m typing on a line that begins with “// “ and I press return the next line should automatically begin with “// “.

Let the voting begin…

Shift-return, I think, does that, no?

No.

Btw, via Keyboard Maestro on the Mac, when I type “////”, I automatically get

//
//

with the cursor positioned on the second line. That allows for comments like this:

//
// A comment
//

Brilliant! I did not know that. Thanks! :slight_smile:
