---------------------------------------
Summary: Please change behaviour of commenting lines
Key: NETBEANS-436
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-436
Project: NetBeans
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: editor - Formatting & Indentation, editor - Other
Affects Versions: Next
Reporter: Christian Lenz
Atm, if you hit a shortcut to comment a like, it will end up this:
{code}
if(whatever) {
if(again) {
console.log(42);
// System.out.println(42);
}
}
{code}
I know it is not the same lang but it doesn't matter. As you can see, it will
comment the line, but it will start the comments still on column 1 and not
where the code is. This is a pain in the ass, because if you reformat the code,
it looks like this:
{code}
if(whatever) {
if(again) {
console.log(42);
// System.out.println(42);
}
}
{code}
and if you uncomment the line, it looks like this:
{code}
if(whatever) {
if(again) {
console.log(42);
System.out.println(42);
}
}
{code}
and you have to reformat it again or move it into the right direction. I know
that it was easy to add the comments in column 1 but no editor or IDE does
this. In VS Code and the JetBrains family it looks like this:
{code}
if(whatever) {
if(again) {
console.log(42);
// System.out.println(42);
}
}
{code}
Which is more right, it only adds "// " in front of the code and removes it
again. So in my opinion this is way better and even correct. It keeps the
indentation too so no need to worry after you reformat the code.
Cheers
Chris
