I like the autoformatting of comments when I'm writing them, however it's unusable because subsequent non-comment lines are always joined with the comment block.
Use of fo+=w helps a little bit, but if I accidentally leave Insert mode when there is a trailing space on the last line of my comment, it will join it with the next line regardless of whether the next line is a comment or not. This is really annoying and feels like incorrect behavior. It seems to me that autoformatting should never change or join a non-comment line into a comment line. For example, I might have code like the following: // FooBar does things. func FooBar() { return } If my formatoptions are formatoptions=crqwn1ja Then when I go to edit the comment, if I happen to leave a space at the end accidentally, then it is autoformatted into this: // FooBar does things. func FooBar() { return } If w isn't set then the space doesn't matter and it will always get formatted into that immediately. Is this correct behavior? Is there a way to get vim to auto format comments but never join a non-comment line? Or should I just resign and not use the fo+=a option for code? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist. Do not top-post! Type your reply below the text you are replying to.
