Dear Calva friends: I've pulled in the changes to the comments/ignores/paren highlighting to the dev branch now. I've reached a point where I can't find any more issues myself, so please help me test it by either building the dev branch yourselves and running with that, or install this VSIX package in VS Code (from the Extensions pane meatballs menu): https://3971-125431277-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/tmp/artifacts/calva-2.0.77-dev-2a1fc8bb.vsix

Now third most used Clojure dev environment! That's crazy and amazing. Thanks to all of you and your spreading the word!

is there a way to change the default comment from ; to ;;?

I'm not very aware of the significance of ;;, it seems some editors pick up on it and do things

and it also seems like a lot of code snippets I see online use ;;

there might be a deeper meaning there I'm not aware of

in the codebase I'm on right now, colleagues use another editor and I'd like to match their comment style to reduce friction

Is this for commenting a bunch of lines?

no, for a single one

But it some command to comment the line, right?

I have this line

(log/debugf "listening on link")

; (log/debugf "listening on link")

I assumed it was calva, but maybe it's just vscode that knows the comment character

Yes, but Calva can probably override it.

There might even be a setting for it.

I was looking at that

there's actually a Preferences: configure language specific settings command

running it takes me to the preferences json file with the language setting inserted

"[clojure]": {
}

but unfortunately comments doesn't seem to be overridable

unsure if this means that it can't be overriden overall (even by extensions)

It's probably overridable in language config. Otherwise we can make our own command easy peasy.

open an issue about it

https://github.com/BetterThanTomorrow/calva/issues/564

seems there's a convention around ; for inline comments and ;; for standalone comments

and then also ;;; and ;;;;

so uhm

that's a lot of different comment formats with different meanings

lisp... 😃

getting some weird highlighting artifacts

Can you try with this build, @hoppy? https://3981-125431277-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/tmp/artifacts/calva-2.0.77-wip-fix-highlight-ignores-149064eb.vsix
