In Visual Studio, is there a way to word-wrap ONLY

问题:

I've looked, but it doesn't look like you can apply specific formatting to just comments.

回答1:

Well, there is an Add-In which will automatically format your comments to a given width (as a side feature).

It is HyperAddIn - the main feature of which is allowing you to create 'hyperlinks' to other places in your code within comments, like this:

// The other half of this logic is in code:ComponentManager.Initialise()

With HyperAddIn installed, the code:ComponentManager.Initialise() becomes a clickable link.

I have it installed, it works OK, but I must admit that most of the time I don't have the comment formatting switched on.

回答2:

No. The shortcut is Ctrl+E, Ctrl+W.

There would be one trick how to format the comments. Write your own code snippet for the comment.

回答3:

CodeMaid's page lists re-flowing comments among its many code-beautification features.

回答4:

As I have not found anything suitable so far, I use Vim. I set Open in &Vim as an external tool command, so I can just press Alt+T,V to open the current file in it. In Vim, I find the comment (press / for incremental search), select it (Shift+V selects whole line) and gq command formats the selected text. Finally, :wq and I am back in Visual Studio.

Hopefully, some simple extension appears in future or VsVim will get this feature.

回答5:

The free AtomeerUtils addin mentions such a feature:

• Word-wrap the text in a block comment.

I have not tried it.

回答6:

It may not answer the question directly, but, instead of:

//Writing a really really long comment on one line that should probably be broken up into multiple lines anyhow

Why don't you:

//Break your comments up into multiple lines so that
//you don't need to worry about them wrapping?

Also, I don't like long lines of code - break them up across multiple lines so it's easier to read. All a matter of preference I know, but if you have to scroll horizontally to see all the code, it's a good sign it needs formatting better IMO.

You can extend VS 2010 to do this http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/ToDoGlyphFactory
