Autpcomplete for comments

[syrupcore]

when I type <!-- or /* it'd be cool if it added the closing tag for you, leaving your cursor in the middle - like when I type <p>.

as an added bonus, if the comment is being inserted right after a closing tag, the program could check to see where the opening tag is and if it has an id, offer that as autocomplete.

so if I had this:

Code: Select all

<div id="foo">
    some content
</div> <!--

after I typed "--" it would add --> to the other side of the cursor and if I hit ctrl+space or something, it would offer to insert " /end foo " like: "<!-- /end foo -->.

hopefully at least the first part isn't too much work/overhead.

Thanks,
will

With you being Mr Snippet, I would have thought you'd have a keyboard shortcut assigned to <!-- --->

I do!

...but I'm running out of key strokes. Also, if you use snippets for comments you lose some of the cool comment features in webuilder (like uncomment). Plus, you have to have a snippet for /* as well as <!-- instead of just a "insert comment and know which language I'm using" shortcut.

Lazily yours,
