Auto add asterisk on multiline comment

[RaptorX]

Type: Feature Request

I use multiline comments with asterisks at the beginning for styling purposes.

It would be great if the lexer could detect if a line has an asterisk and when I press enter it would add it to the next line as well like this:

That's the way it is right now.

Not working on my end.

Do I have to set some settings?

[thqby]

No need for additional settings, I don't know why you can't do it there.

https://github.com/thqby/vscode-autohotkey2-lsp/blob/main/ahk2.configuration.json#L98 This feature is implemented here.

Maybe a conflicting extension?

I don't have any extension that messes with the comments though, but I'll take a quick look.

Is there a way to reset your extensions settings without having to uninstall?

[thqby]

Probably not.

[RaptorX]

It is indeed interacting with another extension. I will let you know which one after I continue testing.

EDIT:

After further testing i noticed it is not an extension but rather the settings file. When I clear my settings.json file things start working as intended.

When this setting is set like this I get the issue shown above:

"editor.autoIndent": "brackets"

Can you check if you can replicate?

EDIT:

Now I understand the problem. Only Advanced and Full options invoke the language defined onEnter Rules. So, your rules are not being applied when I have the settings for the brackets only.

I will play with this a bit further.

[thqby]

yes, i see that.
