    Hi guys

    I've been trying to work out if this is possible in UEs for the last hour or so and it's driving me crazy.

    Essentially the problem is that I am forced to use Eclipse at work, which is terrible but does have one very nice feature that I'd like to mimic in UEs.

    When you're editing javadoc comment blocks in eclipse, it will automatically place an asterisk and a space when you hit return, saving you the effort of formatting it all nicely yourself.

    Code: Select all

    /**        <- press enter here
 *          <- this is output for you
 *          <- and again... etc...
    Is there any way to make this happen?

    cheers

      Assign this macro to the Enter key. There are probably some bugs and unaccounted-for situations here, but you get the idea


      Key LEFT ARROW
      IfCharIs "/"
      Key RIGHT ARROW
      "
      "
      ExitMacro
      Else
      Key RIGHT ARROW
      EndIf
      Key HOME
      IfCharIs "/"
      Key RIGHT ARROW
      Else
      IfCharIs "*"
      Key END
      "
      * "
      ExitMacro
      Else
      Key END
      "
      "
      ExitMacro
      EndIf
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "*"
      Key RIGHT ARROW
      Else
      Key END
      "
      "
      ExitMacro
      EndIf
      IfCharIs "*"
      Key END
      "
      * "
      Else
      Key END
      "
      "
      ExitMacro
      EndIf
