Code action to convert single line to multiline comment

[tgodzik]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Whenever you want to spread your comment over multiple line, you need to manually add /**/ which can be a bit of a hassle.

Also you might want to join multiple single line comments together

Describe the solution you'd like

The easiest would probably be a new code action that would show up on all single line tokens. Alternatively, we could use on type formatting when using newline in the middle of a comment.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Doing it manually.

Sure! You can take a look at MillifyScalaCliDependencyCodeAction to see a similar problem. You need the following steps:

• run tokenizer on the code (or just the current line)
• check if we are inside a comment
• check if it's a single line comment
• create a code action with an edit that changes the entire comment

Let me know if you have any issues!
