I like the VAX function Surround selection on / very much. What I do not like it the fact it does not respect my indenting style. It adds // on the very beginning of the line, while I would often like to add it after tabs.

Instead of
void FileServerST::SubmitRequests()
{
//  ProcessRequests();
}
I would like to see
void FileServerST::SubmitRequests()
{
  //ProcessRequests();
}


I know and understand WT stance about adding options, and I therefore do not suggest this, but maybe VAX could scan the source to check what my indentation style is? (The same is true for #if or /* - and do not tell me my indenting style is strange - maybe it is, but who is VAX to tell me so? :) )

It's worse than you think. VAX can't uncomment lines if the slashes are not at the beginning of the line. If you try, it double-comments them instead. I reported this nearly a year ago (thread 1075), and I regard it as a moderately bad bug, but Whole Tomato obviously rate it somewhat lower. (I appreciate that there are some nasty edge cases, but I still think it needs to be fixed).

Just for the record, your suggestion has been suggested before in thread 1343.

We acknowlege we could make the feature smarter. We just haven't dedicated the time to it, at least not yet.

Surround with comment works for many of our users, and it's not necessarily part of the "core" of our product, i.e. better Intellisense. (One might argue this was the case only in the very early version of our software.)

We've gathered the various threads and suggestions. This is a start.
