Hi Christian, Right now the ‘matlab-comment’ function is pretty simple. A quick look at it indicates that it wouldn’t be too hard to add in something like what you describe.
I’ve attached a small patch that does something vaguely like what you are interested in. Hopefully it provides hints so you can expand it to do what you are interested in.

Hi, Is it possible to make 'matlab-comment' behave more like 'comment-dwim' in the mode 'Emacs-Lisp'? What I'd like is the following behaviour. When you use 'M-;' (matlab-comment) and there is already a comment on the line that is too long, i.e. extends beyond 'fill-column' (76), then the '%' is shifted to the left if possible in order to keep the comment within the 'fill-column'. Note: I tried calling 'comment-dwim' in matlab-mode, but it places the '% ' at the wrong place and the right alignment isn't working properly. I.e. the '% ' is moved as far left as possible, not merely as much that is needed to make the comment fit. Best regards, Christian PS. In case the above isn't clear, here's an example. Let's say we have this line of code: x = 1; Pressing 'M-;' will add '% ' at column 40. Then we add a long comment, getting this: x = 1; % Here is a comment that is getting long Now press 'M-;' again, and now the '%' is shifted to the left, resulting in e.g.: x = 1; % Here is a comment that is getting long -- Christian Ridderström, +46-70 687 39 44
