IntelliJ - Set the comment indents level

[markjfisher]

I've really like to be able to indent comments to my preferred style, so instead of this:

function foo {
// comments are at same level as function, so offset from code they are commenting on
// set the value of x to 1
  set x to 1.

  function bar {
  // this is a comment in bar
    set baz to 1.
  }
}

I'd like to be able to tell it to indent to the same as code would be, i.e. the above would be:

function foo {
  // set the value of x to 1
  set x to 1.

  function bar {
    // this is a comment in bar
    set baz to 1.
  }
}

Ideally, it would be really nice to have a configuration in Code Style like other languages, where all code config could be tuned:

Which (I think) would then be usable in editorconfig configuration like:

[*.ks]
indent_size = 2
tab_width = 2
// java example: ij_java_line_comment_add_space = true
ij_kerbal_some_config_property = true

But that's pretty ambitious :) Just the ability to change comment indenting would be nice to start.

Thank you Mark for your feedback. Unfortunately I'm not actively develop it any more. Maybe someone will pick it up. If you would like to try to implement this feature, I will gladly merge it. But not much of the other help as I'm overwhelmed with other stuff at the moment.

No worries @valery-labuzhsky!

@FuegoFro @slideclimb any interest in picking this up?

[slideclimb]

Yes for sure, I'll have a look!

Thank you @slideclimb!

[markjfisher]

Is this being worked on at all 🙏

[jim-hart]

@slideclimb I know it's been a minute, but were you able to take a look?

[jim-hart]

@markjfisher when you get a chance, can you verify #80 resolves this for you?

This is much better and the comments are indenting correctly, but if I take this simple example and format it:

{
  // this is stuff
  function foo {
    // some comment
    parameter bar.
    print bar.
  }
}

everything is indented by 2 spaces.

A lot of my code is contained within a block like this, so it doesn't affect the global namespace.

So it's becoming this:

  {
    // this is stuff
    function foo {
      // some comment
      parameter bar.
      print bar.
    }
  }

as you can see, every line has an addition of 2 spaces a the start.

In fact, if you copy and paste the first version of the above example into a blank file, it auto indents to the second.

Wow, I'm so sorry, this completely slipped my mind... Let me know if you could use my help still, so far #80 looks promising!
