Suggestion for the "continuing comment on newline" feature—instead of the "shift-return" previously suggested, could you use a double return? So, you hit return once—new line gets commented. Then return again (with no content on the line), and both the previous new line and the new one are no longer commented.
I find myself wanting to rapidly cancel out of the comment, and not sure where I picked it up, but my instinct is to just hit return again.
my 2c - Esc is what i reach for, but also, if it didn't auto indent the continued comment by 1 space, backspace is one keystroke not two
thoigh i have also found my self hitting Enter a few times when this happens
Yeah—ditching the auto-indent would also be a possible solution (or making the first backspace kill the line).
