Suppose I need to add text to a comment written in the following style: ``` /* First line Second line Third line */ ``` When I add a new line, it should be clear that I don't want automatic `* ` since the previous line doesn't have it, yet Geany still inserts it.
`Edit->Preferences->Editor->Completions->Automatic continuation of multiline comments`
Disabling the continuation altogether is not convenient. I still want it for the common case like: ``` /** * First line * Second line ```
Well, if "somebody" contributed a properly documented third option besides on and off it might be accepted.
But why not just check the previous line? Is there a practical reason to add `* ` even if the previous line doesn't have it?
Ok, I guess if you manually delete the * you can manually add it back if you want it, but then it _must_ be documented, I'm sick of getting complaints about "magic" behaviour that has not been documented. [end rant, not at you]
@elextr could you make an issue for undocumented behaviour please, maybe with a checklist. Unless it exists already. No promises but I will try to add documentation at least for any feature I added.
@ntrel thanks for the offer, will make an issue when I get a chance.
@elextr I've also made a project for underdocumented stuff: https://github.com/orgs/geany/projects/2/
If you make an issue please add it to that project.
Closed #3386 as completed via #3392.
Thanks!
