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.

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 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.

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.

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.

Feature simplifies formatting of block comment by adding additional * symbol on each next line after block comment opening /*.

For example, if you have:

/* |

and press Enter at the end of line, editor will add leading *, like this

/*
* |

Lead indentation is also taken into account.
