It is possible via Ctrl+Space to activate suggestions and code completition inside a comment.

But it is not possible to insert a VA-Snippet inside a comment
I have a comment block

/* some comment
 * some info
 * some other Info*/

And I want to insert a new block of lines in a specific structure in this multi line comment section to get a specific form of documentation.

I know that I can insert a complete comment block. But that's not what I want.

I want to see VA Snipptes too when I press Ctrl+Space inside a comment section as possible selection.

TIA

BTW: I just started a discussion about that but I still miss the Sniptes in the list and I don't want to remember another hotkey ;)

Normal VA snippets are not active in comments, to avoid them getting in the way of your normal typing. The good news is that VA snippets that start with "/" are active in comments. So the shortcuts "/c" and "//g" are both active in a comment block.

You can also map a keyboard shortcut to VAssistX.VaSnippetInsert to manually insert a VA snippet with the keyboard into a comment.
