====== Shortkeys ======

If you are familiar with Visual Assist plug-in for Visual Studio, most of the functions provided by Shortkey plug-in will be well known to you.

The plug-in covers some gaps in editing/formatting functions for C-like code (C, C++, JavaScript, PHP) which are not covered by standard functionality.

===== Comment/Uncomment Selection =====
[[editing:auto_completion:shortkey|Shortkey]] *****, **/** simplifies (un)commenting of the selected lines, smaller selections:
  * Pressing of ***** on selected text will result in surrounding of the selection by stream comment **/*** and ***/**. Subsequent executing of the same [[editing:auto_completion:shortkey|shortkey]], will result in uncommenting of the selection.
  * Pressing of **/** on selected text will result on commenting of the lines with selection with line comments. If lines are already commented, they will be uncommented. White space lines are skipped. 
Active for: All syntaxes inherited from cbased (C, C++, C++ MS), JavaScript and PHP.

===== Surround with preprocessor condition =====
Pressing of sign sharp on selected text will result in surrounding if the selection by preprocessor **ifdef/endif**. The cursor will be set after **ifdef**. Only active for C++ and inherited.  

===== Insert _ after m and Shift =====
If you are using Hungarian notation for starting you member variables with **m_**, this shortkey will help you in an automatic insertion of **_** after m and pressed Shift. 

===== Smart Block (Multi Line) Comment =====
Feature simplifies formatting of block comment by adding additional ***** symbol on each next line after block comment opening **/***. 

For example, if you have:
<code c++>/* |</code>
and press //Enter// at the end of line, editor will add leading *****, like this
<code c++>/*
* |</code>

Lead indentation is also taken into account.
