I like the multiline comment feature.

But stopping it leaves the caret at a wrong indent.

1. Stopping a multiline comment with just pressing Enter is OK, but leaves an empty comment block. I don't like this

   // Line1
   // Line2
   // 
   Code();


2. Pressing Ctrl+Shift+L. Removes the comment but sets the carte just to the start of the line. The indent is lost.

   // Line1
   // Line2
   // 
<- Caret is here


3. I prefer the Undo function. As in Word, when I don't want the any auto formatting. But again like in 2. the caret moves to the far left column.

4. Backspace isn't a solution. I need 3 keystrokes to undo the comment chars.

Solution would be, that Ctrl+Shift+L moves the caret to the correct indent or that undo also moves the caret to the correct indent. Or even a single backspace just deletes the whole inserted comment.

Does Ctrl+Backspace do what you want in that situation?

Thx Sean. This works!

In Detail:
The command Edit.WordDeleteToStart (in most cases Ctrl+Backspcae) does the Job and deletes the comment and moves the caret to the correct indent.
