Please adhere edit/comments to RIGHT edge

Adjust comments to a vertical line position (RIGHT)
Note: The comments that started in the first column, do not Adjust


like hp50g program editor

example:   before comments misalignment

/* Config ports microcontroller
    Motorola GP32 */
typedef union {
  byte Byte;
  struct {
    byte PTA0        :1;                    // Port  A Data Bit 0
    byte PTA1        :1;                                       // Port A  Data Bit 1
    byte PTA2        :1;                         // Port A Data Bit 2
    byte PTA3        :1;                              // Port A Data Bit 3
    byte PTA4        :1;                  // Port A Data Bit 4
    byte PTA5        :1;                            // Port A Data Bit 5
    byte PTA6        :1;                                       // Port A Data Bit 6
    byte PTA7        :1;        // Port A Data Bit 7
  } Bits;
} PTASTR;

Later comments alignment
----------------------------


/* Config ports microcontroller
    Motorola GP32 */
typedef union {
  byte Byte;
  struct {
    byte PTA0        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 0
    byte PTA1        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 1
    byte PTA2        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 2
    byte PTA3        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 3
    byte PTA4        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 4
    byte PTA5        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 5
    byte PTA6        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 6
    byte PTA7        :1;                // Port A Data Bit 7
  } Bits;
} PTASTR;



Is good idea?

Please file this feature request at Berlios so that it doesn't get lost.

thomas:
I'm not sure that can be done easily, but it's a great idea nevertheless. Actually that's what editors should always have been like.

Jeisson:
I don't know if it is feasible. I would love the editor manages automatically the "word wrap" in comments while one is writting. For example

--- Code: ---/** MyClass                                                  |
    This is a long line. While I am writing here I have not  |
    need of press Enter because the editor inserts line feeds|
    and indentation automatically. If I delete a word with   |
    backspace key, following lines are fixed. The vertical   |
    line at right is the right margin.                       |
**/                                                          |

--- End code ---

Thanks for this lovely IDE.
