I built a tiny IntelliJ IDEA plugin for something that had been bothering me for years

try multi-line comments via /** + Enter

If you use three /// it'll automatically add new lines when you hit enter

Ah yeah, I keep forgetting about three slashes. Does anyone even use them though?

I use them all the time

Zed does this by default 👀

Eh that's what multi line comments are for right? I'm guessing that's why it didn't exist 😅

JetBrains really doesn't have this built-in?

this problem was solved before single line comments were created. they were called comments back then. now people call them multi-line comments

Lazyvim (btw) does this by default

Really good 💪🏻

awesome plugin, will be using this 👏

Nice to see a dedicated solution for comment continuation. Does the plugin infer the comment token from the file type, or is it hard‑coded for Java/Kotlin? Would love to see it handle block comments too. 🤔

It is currently hardcoded to support .kt and .java files only: Feature requests and contributions are welcome!

vscode does this bz default

Excellent demonstration. The fact is that any self-respecting IDE has this kind of feature natively. So...

Just use the three slashes or multiline dude

but who even uses three slashes

If you don't like it there's always /**/ like in any other sane language
