Bug ID: 438744
Summary: Feature request: Let indentation be indentation when
outcommenting lines
Product: kate
Version: 21.04.1
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: part
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: andreas_norda...@hotmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Kwrite/Kate/KDevelop, mark the body of this C++ function and press
Ctrl+D:
void f() {
{
;
}
}
EXPECTED RESULT
Preferrably this:
void f() {
// {
// ;
// }
}
Or this (not my favourite, but also fine):
void f() {
// {
// ;
// }
}
OBSERVED RESULT
void f() {
// {
// ;
// }
}
The "// " comment prefix is inserted before, instead of after, the indentation.
I think it would be better to do the opposite – not change the indentation
level of the outcommented code.
This is to make it easy to visually follow the indentation level of an
uncommented block with the surrounding code.
As it is, it is even a bit hard to see which exact indentation level the code
is at when outcommented like this.
Third, it is what automatic code formatters do.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The same applies to probably most languages supported by katepart, with the
notable exception of python, which already does the right thing! Well, the "not
my favourite, but also fine" alternative.
