I'd like to extends this function to work as usual in most cases but if current line starts with * then it should indent and then insert *. Particularly i want to use it in multi line comments, i.e:

/**
  * multiline comment
  */

So when i press Ret, while writing a comment, it would add *.

  • This doesn't answer your question, but if you just write one long line and then hit M-q the comment will be broken into several lines in the appropriate way.

I think the command you want to use is comment-indent-new-line which is normally bound to M-j.

  • Unfortunately it doesn't insert *, is there any way to fix this?

  • It does when I test it with emacs -Q ~/tmp/foo.c and type /** RET * foo M-j so you'll need to give more details about your setup to figure out why it doesn't work for you.

  • Probably i should, it works for C, but i'm interested in scala-mode2

  • Then you should report the problem to the scala-mode2 maintainers.
