[Github-comments] [geany/geany] [Question] How to make blank newlines also commented with Ctrl+E? (#2239)

[Jonathan Bradley Whited]

For example, take this Ruby code:

```Ruby
(0..9).each do |i|
  puts i
  
  puts '-' if (i % 3) == 0
end
```

If you do Ctrl+E, it will produce this:

```Ruby
#(0..9).each do |i|
#  puts i
  
#  puts '-' if (i % 3) == 0
#end
```

But, I'd like it to produce this:

```Ruby
#(0..9).each do |i|
#  puts i
#  
#  puts '-' if (i % 3) == 0
#end
```

You can imagine that code with many blank newlines makes it hard to distinguish if the whole block is commented, or just sections.

Is there a setting for this?

I think this is useful for usually-single-line-commented languages, like Ruby/Python, especially if your settings don't strip spaces on newline.

Thanks.
